I have no fuel, no spark. I've changed the dist, main relay and ecm. And still I have power to both the dist, and fuel pump but it will not crank

Hi drollinson,

Only way of testing a bad ECM is to use a known good one as substitute.

Does the CEL light shows and goes off after 2 seconds when ignirion switch is turned to "ON"?

Hi drollinson,

Sorry to say this, the ECM is faulty. Some of the capacitors have leaked and corroded. If yu got anybody who is good with electronic repairs, he can help you, if not a replacement unit is required.
