86 1/2 nissan truck won't start.
Okay so I did something stupid, After changing the oil, replacing filter, and vacuuming the truck out I decided to go to the car wash. I ignored conventional wisdom and pressure washed the motor. After the wash the truck would start but ran very rough and wouldn't idle. I figured that I got something wet and it would dry. Day two, went to car wash and the truck started, sounded good. Put truck in gear and took off. Truck died 200 yrds down the road and will not restart. Went and borrowed dollie and towed truck home. Removed all spark plug wires one at a time and tested for spark. All wires are sparking. Removed distrib. and made sure it was clean and dry. Removed fuel line after filter between filter and tbi. Cranked motor and much fuel is present. Cleaned and made sure every connector I could find on the motor and wiring harness was dry. Truck will not even try to start. Started all over again and low and behold no spark at any of my plug wires. I tried to test my coil with a gap tester and I was able to get 1 spark from the coil wire and no more. I have read every post that I could find on this problem and there seems to be alot of starting issues on these trucks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Re: 86 1/2 nissan truck won't start.
Fusible links are good, checked with meter. truck will start and run well for up to 60 seconds and then die. Will not restart until whatever is breaking down cools off. Any suggestions.
