Truck won;t start and run. It starts sometimes and wil. L idle but it doesn't stay running It may or may not start again. The fuel pump has been replaced but it make s no difference. When you try to restart it there is no spark. Is there a thermal break or some such relay in the fuel pump wiring that won' t allow it to restart?/

Check your ballast resistor to see if it's any good and also checkyour resistance in the pickup coil. If it's more thatn 700 ohms replace it. Make sure that is set correctly with a non magnetic feeler guage.
