Hi guys, first time posting. Quick recap. 96 3.0lx. Started fine this past weekend but after abut 15 seconds she died. I couldn’t get it to fire up. Had fuel but no spark. I replaced everything but the pickup. Now she acts like she wants to start until I get a backfire through the carb. Firing order is spot on. Plugs wires cap rotor coil module all changed. I’m at a loss. I even unplugged the kill switch in hopes that it was faulty. Hoping someone can lead me to answers.

Thanks,
Tony

Ayuh,..... Sounds like no, or bad fuel,....

Is there power at the coil's tiny (+) terminal, the purple wire, with the key "On",..??..??

Thanks bondo, initial problem was the control module. Got my spark back but the new rotor was defective so that threw me for a loop. I Appreciate the reply
