94 318 ,no spark at all, no power to the coil. ive tried
jumpering the auto shut off relay, gets power but still no signal from the hall effect(guessing) gas pressure was about 3-5# over what the haynes manual says.

i opened up the wire loom, the red/white wires respiced those under the pdc.

what the hell makes the spark, ive replaced the hall sensor, coil, cap/rotor, battery, plug wires.

if the computer is bad can i get a new one and where should i look. parts stores dont have them.

Considering the computers have no moving parts, I wouldn't think it should be 'buzzing'. At least, not audiable from 10 feet away.

ok itll be a year since this truck has ran, i guess im gonna have it towed because im so sick
of seeing it in my garage. i read all the posts
about not starting and ive tried 50% of the ideas.
only thing left is to spend every last nickle i have buying new sensors and bs. so calling the tow truck monday morning.

by the way i had it towed before, the shop said they fixed it. bastards im sure it just started on its own and charged me 100$ labor. in the past it would just start out of the blue, but it hasnt started in a long time now.
