Hello,

For some odd reason I went to buy back my old rodeo yesterday and when I went to start it to drive it home instead of the instant start im used to from the old tbi I got nothing. The truck turned over like a champ but I found that I was getting no spark from the coil. The problem is intermittent and nothing I have been able to do has effected when it occurs. You can try starting it 8 times and on the 9th it will start right up no problem.

I tested the coil as per the haynes manual and everything checked out ok.

I dont know what or how to test for a problem that I cant reproduce.

This problem has occured on two occasions, once yesterday when I went to pick it up and today as I was getting back in the car at the deli.

It didnt do this at all for the previous owner.


Any ideas?
