It’s currently at shop but they work on large diesel equipment, tractors etc. so this is not there area of expertise. This morning he said it may need a new injection control unit, which I could not find and I’m thinking he meant ignition control unit. Anyway I’m on the look out for one. He said that if he had the adapter for the scanner he would be able to tell what was causing the problem. Where could I get on of these? I feel I may be over my head. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Is it not getting fuel?? Or, is it not getting spark??

Before I purchased another Ignition Control Module, I would check the Crankshaft Position Sensor first. If it is defective, you will not get any spark.
Also check the ignition coil.

Good luck,

Dave
