[9-secGT]

4th if July weekend pulled my 87 GT outside for a wash, water hose busted didn't wash car.. Went to pull back inside, no fuel pump or spark at coil..
I have replaced ECM, ECM relay, fuel pump relay, wired up fuel pump to toggle switch (pump works)key switch, engine and dash wiring harness. Dash cluster, checked fuseable links, inertia switch, unhooked msd box and hooked coil up factory, Changed out msd distributor to my known good factory distributor, no start, am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Scott..

Does it roll over at least?

 

[9-secGT]

Yes engine turns over but no fuel pump or spark...

Did you examine the terminals in the PCM connector for corrosion, backing out, etc.?

 

[9-secGT]

Just checking things out... Just found the # 40 and 60 pins burnt into .. Pins came out of the 60 pin connector of computer..

Did you check to see if you're actually getting the switched 12v ignition signal at the PCM? It comes into the PCM relay first, then to the PCM. I believe the wire is red with a blue, or green tracer at the PCM relay. That switched 12v wire feeds a lot of different things, so it's possible it could've blew the fuse for it

Check the bullet looking connector by battery going to the inside apron its a ground they will break and come loose

 

[WIKDLX]

known ignition switch problems on the steering column will cause this

This also switch will come apart

right under the washer fluid tank is that bullet connector that will come loose also

Does the fuel pump "cycle" on for the 4 seconds when you turn the key to the "on" position. If it does, then I would replace the distributor TFI (ICM) module. Most of the starting problems came from this little plastic part..

Bingo. Tfi module.very common problem with your exact symptoms.

 

[9-secGT]

Have you checked the ign switch on the side of the column they are notorious for coming loose and can cause the problems you are having, they have little cast aluminum tabs that work loose from the the switch being turned off and on over time and eventually creates a gap between the two halves of the switch, as you can see in the pic above, that is what happened to this switch: see arrow you can see where the two halves of switch has worked loose. Good news is, if that has happened to yours it's very easy and cheap to replace.
