I recently purchased this truck.it has a 3.9ltr engine. It takes 2 people to do this. While one person is in the truck cranking it over, another person wiggles the wires on the ECM on the plug for the ECM closest to the fone end of the truck the engine will start and run. Other than that it just cranks over. I took it to a shop to get it diagnosed. The service writer told me the ECM is bad. I don't think it is because someone just wiggles the wires by the ECM plug and the truck starts and runs. I just want to know which wires to check and does the wires need power to check them? All the dash lights come on as they should. I have changed the ASD relay,I checked all fuses, it has a new battery. Its getting fuel but no spark. But when the wires by ECM plug gets wiggled around, the engine starts and runs great. I can't figure out which wire(s) could be doing this. I don't have a wiring diagram for it. Thank you ahead of time.
