iiiinnteresting I just got a couple third gens (after swearing I'd never own another F-body) and it didn't even make it out of the driveway.

Similar too, but I have PCM, no codes, good oil pressure, no coil, no fuel pump. Will be following this one, but I'd bet money a search will turn up the answer.

If you are getting spark at the coil but not at the plug, the cap & rotor or plugwires are bad.
If no spark and no fuel, then pickup coil is bad.
If you bypass the fuel pump relay by using the single little "red wire" that breaks out of the harness either near the battery or near the alternator, by applying 12 volts to it, the pump should run if good.

In my case, I'm not getting fire or fuel. Coil has power at the pink wire. Are you sure the pickup coil is bad, and where is the pickup coil? I just checked, and the vats is working, and the pcm is powering and doesn't find any codes.

Got mine running, and it was the pickup coil. Unfortunately, I ruined the halo wheel getting the shaft out. Advanced Auto has a new dizzy, with a cap I walked out $102 poorer.

Sounds like Gnboy might not be getting pcm power. I returned your email I have access to a snap-on scanner that just rocks; it gives troubleshooting menus that pretty much tell you exactly what's wrong. If you answer the questions in that email, I'll get out that scanner and tell you what it says.
