Have a 93 sport 3.9, drove it the other day for 5 minutes. Came back a hour later and won't start. Turns over fine but seems like it isn't getting spark or fuel. Anyboby know what might be wrong?

There is a relay in the box under the hood for the Auto shutdown that could be going bad, how many miles on the truck.
The infamous splice about 8 inches down in the harness below the underhood fuse box feeds 12 volts to the fuel pump and ignition. the computer will activate the auto shutdown relay with in 2 seconds after starting if it doesn't see a signal from the crank position sensor or camshaft signal. If you check the splice and find its has a blueish green oxidation you would be wise to resolder the connection after cleaning things up. Good luck if you need addtional help report back on this post. Good Luck.
92 and 97 Daks both with many mods.

I did find the spot where 4 red wires came together and 3 of them where so corroded that there was no wire left. I am planning on fixing it in the next few days. Thank you for your help.
