Found the problem.... probably what happened to those of you that suggested
the pickup plate.
That's exactly what was wrong. The magnetic sensor on the plate was broken
off by a pin that had worked it's way loose from the shaft. I'm picking up a
new plate tomorrow when the parts store opens.
Thanks to those DML'ers that suggested the plate, and if I would have
checked this earlier, I would be driving my truck right now. :)
To put this into perspective, it seems kinda strange that the distributor
shaft, tells the ECU when it should fire, then the ecu tells the coil to
fire, then it goes back through the distributor to go to the individual
plug. Just something that was beyond my grasp till tonight. Hopefully
someone will catch this on the archives, and learn from my stress.
Once again... thanks to all that made suggestions.
