My initial post is below...I've since figured out that when i turn the key on..even with my ear to the gas tank, I don't hear the pump running...I pulled a spark plug and there's no fire....with these two problems...is there anything else besides the ecu that would cause both problems? Or did they not rebuild it correctly?
I appreciate any help you guys can offer. One morning, I went to crank my t-100(97 with 260,000 miles) and it turned over fine but it didn't start. I continued to turn it over, off and on for probably 2-3 minutes. It was acting like it wasn't getting fire. Finally, it cranked like it wasn't having any problems. I drove it around a while...stopped and shut it off and came back later and it started first try. Over the next few days, it did the same thing as I stated first, probably 50% of the time.
I took it to pep boys and they did an engine diagnostic test and it came back saying the ecu/computer was bad. I then drove home and it never started again...would turn over but no matter how long I tried, it wouldn't start. I sent the ecu off and had it rebuilt...I got it back today and installed it and it's doing the exact same thing as before...turns over fine but doesn't start.
I called the technician back and he said it tested fine before he sent it back to me.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?
Just to clarify...the starter is fine...the alternator is fine and the battery is fine.
Thanks in advance...
