Have a 2006 Chevy 2wd truck with a 4.3 V6. I have spark at the coil wire before it goes into the distibutor cap, but not at the sparkplugs. It has 12volts at the IMC and at the Coil. I have installed a new Coil and a new Ignition contro module, plus a new distibutor cap and a new rotor. The distributor does spin when trying to start, but still no fire at sparkplug/cylinder. HELP!

Try running a new ground from battery to block , see if that makes a difference..Just a thought...

 

 

Found the problem today, it was the 12volt plug in connection(harness) going to the coil. The wire was loose inside the pin connector. When the motor started by chance, it would still want to kill, so I started to shake all the connections (wire) on the motor and when I touched the coil connection the motor would kill. Move the wire one way it would run, move it the other it would kill. Who would think a truck 2 years old would have that kind of problem. Of course my wife keeps reminding me that she wanted me to by a NISSAN, because my old NISSAN truck only lasted me about 256,143 miles without any trouble what so ever!
