In the power dist box there are relays for
starter
ASD auto shut down
Fuel pump
A/C

switch them around and see what happens all the
same 30 amp relays

i tried that and it wouldnt work. Like when i turn the key, it actually winds up, but it seems like no gas is goin through (unlike a dead battery). You think maybe i just have to replace all the relays instead of switching?

The wires are about a foot back from the power dis
box under hood in the wire harnass you must untape
to find them

This was a common prob on the G2's

When it don't start pull a plug and see if its
wet or dry because a bad coil will also do what
you are describing

Check pin 3 on comp plug power all the time
Pin 9 power on with key
57 ASD sense to relay plug wire farthest away from
you when looking over drivers fender at relay plug
check with ohm meter

pin 51 ASD ground the left ASD relay pin to comp
with meter both should have contanuity

May have 51 and 57 reversed don't have my book
handy but those are the ones you need to check

Engine ground
pin 5 sometimes not used
pin 11 and 12 should both be grounded the ground
is located on engine just behind alt

Check these things and you will find out what is
going on if all ok and plug wet just wire a diff
coil in to test start and than replace the coil

Comp plug looking straight at it disconect from
comp
1-------20
21------40
41------60

be sure you reconnect batt after unpluged to check
pin 3 and 9

I just went through this on a 95 dak
