My truck listed above shut off while I was driving, and I couldn’t get it started back up. I tried jumping it, tested the fuel pressure, and then finally checked to see if there was spark. I was getting no spark from the coil pack, double checked the module and 12 volts were going in, but no spark was coming out. I figured it was probably the coil pack and bought a new one and replaced it yet still no spark coming out of the ignition coil. What could be the problem?
