Hey guys, got new info on my starting problem. My friend told me we were not always getting spark from the coil (I thought we did). We tried 2 brand new coils.

***Has anyone had an intermittent starting problem. Starter turns engine but no start?***

I've changed the distributor/tps/Idle air bypass/plugs/control module/coil twice/starter solonoid/ unhooked msd 6al

a) What would cause an intermittant coil problem? Computer/Ignition Switch?
b) What fuel pressure should I be running with mild cam/ stock heads/ explorer intake?
c) If I'm right and we were getting spark, could the problem be fuel related even though I here the pump turn on everytime?

is it timed right, firing order, 12v at the injectors, 12v at the coil harness? fuel pressure (u can check for fuel pressure at the schrade valve on the fuel rail)Try pulling codes. Good luck
