I have never made one, but as I understand you also need a resistor. I would test on a car that runs to make sure your homemade noid light works, but I think it should be fine.

So by starting it on ether, you have verified that your PCM receives crank sensor pulses and that PCM is driving the ignition system and that the engine is able to run when fuel is provided.

I still worry that the vehicle has not run on its own with a new ECM and after security relearn procedure. The way security system works, the PCM refuses to drive the injectors to disable the vehicle. Because you have 60psi fuel pressure during cranking, I still think you still need to check for injector pulses during cranking using a noid light, homemade or otherwise.

Another extra thing to check is the resistance across each of the injectors - a shorted injector can whack out the PCM and take out the entire system.

A third extra thing to check and consider is fuel quality - if you obtain and put a sample on something does it dry quickly like gasoline should?

Good luck! Seems like you're making good progress.

p.s. most auto parts stores have nice fuel injector test kits for loan (with deposit) and probably have noid light set too for loan as well.

 

Here is an update. Upon running tests and what not. I have no more fuel issues or ignition issues. It now is starting to pop through the intake throttle body. I figured I would pull the distributor and look at the teeth and wobble. There is none. I restabbed the distributor on number I tried to restart it and pop threw it again. Checked the number one again and it's not in number I anymore. I love my truck better than anything else but these kickes in the junk take it's toll. I'm thinking timing chain. What else could it be? My friend said crank sensor but that wouldn't explain the jumping timing

 

Check compression on a cylinder. If cam timing has jumped it will be very low or nonexistant.

 

I will do that today for sure.

 

Well, it's been a long long road and I figured I would give an update to my story. I found a guy that worked for my friend at a shop that claimed to be a S-10 genius but after I had it towed to the shop it sat there for a year and he NEVER even lifted the hood and eventually it had to be moved and yadda yadda yadda, I decided after a long time to take another look at it. I replaced the plugs, wires cap ect. I had my cousin looking at it also and he noticed it was a tooth off on the dist. we reset the thing and after a while of cranking, it started and ran like sh*$. I took it to the gas station and put in $20 and it ran out of nowhere like a dream. and it is still running like a dream so I really have no damn idea what was keeping it from running other than it being flooded I guess. Now all I have to do is fix the P0440 purge valve and its back to my favorite truck. Damn I missed my truck and to think it almost got scrapped. thanks for all the help. parts replaced were, plugs, cap ect, fuel pump, coil, module and a cam sensor.

 

Congrats and thanks for sharing the update.

A tooth off on the distributor is a lot. How do you think it got off by one tooth?
