2003 3.0L EFI No spark!
I have gotten so much great information from this site, but can't seem to find the answer in the searches.
I have a 2003 3.0L 250 efi. I just did a fresh rebuild. During break-in, it developed a slight shake. I believed it was a coil going down so I bought a coil th shuffle around. Before I had a chance, it decided it now won't start ant there is NO spark at all. I have done the following:
-Batteries are good
-Grounds are good
-fuses are good
-Swapped ecu's
-Kill switch disconnected
-Neutal safety switch off
-Crank position sensor tested and swapped
-New oil tank and full
All connections are good as far as I can tell. I'm about to go crazy! Please help!Last edited by Dirty Dodge; 09-16-2023 at 06:03 PM.

The "shift interrupt" switch can make them act like that. Especially if the black plastic slide is worn. You can take it out of the slide rack, turn it around and let the ball detent use the "new" side, to fully depress the switch.

Chaz, once again, you were 100% correct.
Then I cleaned the fuel pressure diaphragm screen on the VST, and it smoothed right out.
Thank you again!
