Quote: Good morning
Stupid issue last night the comanche almost left me stranded still gota figure out what was the problem....
Has been hitting really low idle and last night going to the park to play football turning around the corner it shut off on me...popped the clutch and 5 minutes into driving went to park the truck it shut off completely and didn't want to start till I started diagnosing it and got it going got home and tried to fire it again no problem....drive it this morning no problems went to get coffee and fired up no problem...idk sounded more electrical than mechanical but I'll keep looking

Any ideas let me know...thanks

Checked first the wires at the battery post, wiggled them tried to restart no luck, check spark plug wires and everything was fine tried to start no luck, check connector 101 tried to restart no luck, check for fuel and fuel was available, tried to start and it fired right up and shut off after 3 seconds, I unplugged the o2 sensor, tps, idle speed controller, switched the relays around, and fired right up and idled for a good 10 seconds and shuts off, waited a bit checked the vacuum hoses to see if any were loose, corroded and what not and all seemed good,went to start the truck fired right up and truck ran great all the way home....
This morning the truck ran perfect no low idle, no problems with starting, and didn't shut off on me....
This has happened to me once before when I first started driving the truck 2 years ago and didn't skip a beat until now

You have this on driver fender well if so clean connections if dirty or bypass it and see if it changes the idle . or no start happens again...

You mean the ballest resistor?
The 4 cyl didn't have that...the biggest complications to the fuel pump is the ground in the rear tail light which I always clean after I go off road to make sure for a clean ground...

That's the one. Just make sure those connections are clean as well. Sometimes the smallest n simplest things will give you the biggest headache.

Where is this located?...is it where all the relays line up?
Going to auto parts after work to get this relay and clean that area out for clean mating surfaces
