Hey guys new to this forum. Im here because my sister's husband's truck has a crank no start issue. It's getting fuel but no spark. It's getting 12 volts to the coil but no signal from the computer to energize the coil. I checked the PIP sensor from the distributor at the connector with a digital volt meter and the meter acted like a it couldn't get voltage reading, it would see 0.00 volts AC but then quickly changed to 0.00 millivolts AC but Alldata says it should see 3.0-8.5 volts AC. So which is right?

Why double post !! we don't like reading three threads on the same problem..

Sorry figured they would have moved to here already

Gotcha... and you need to set your meter to read DC voltage... there is no AC voltage present..

I could have swore that Alldata said AC not DC voltage but maybe I saw wrong. well I will try that then

How would you get AC voltage from a DC system ?? do you have an inverter ??

This is what Alldata is telling me to use

All data is written wrong. All measurements on the truck will be direct current.
