help please-broke down

My guess too^^

yes, you should look into this seriously. you car is turning over fine but the ECU isn't dilvering fuel (or spark) as you haven't determined that yet.

how long have you been cranking for? i'd suggest an oil change after all of this if infact you are getting fuel and no spark. smell your oil, if it has the smell of gas then spark could be the problem!

and i would say almost take the alarm out of the equation as your car shut down before you turned it off.

nope still stranded..nowhere to hook onto to pull it..

Our cars have tie-down points underneath the front and rear bumpers - they're definitely not "un-towable"

^ yep we definately do...even usable with the mp3 rear lip! now get that thing home and start fishin around!

What about a fried ECU?

thats my bet... it's bad but it happens, might also explain the rough idle before the shut down...

 

[mp3-79bronco]

its home now.. towed.. well i talked to a guy with my exact problem and his turned out to be a fusible link behing the dash on the ignition harness...im gonna go tear into it now

 

[mp3-79bronco]

okay just to confirm i just switched ecus and still nothing...everything is off the dash now so any help would be awesome..

 

[mp3-79bronco]

i looked at the pinout and it seems that there are three power wires...2 main and one backup.. none of them have power with the key on... id assume that one of these is a trigger type wire from the ignition, and that it turns on the other ones, but without getting the on signal none of them are going on...sound correct?

OFFICIAL UPDATE>>>IM A ******* RETARD DUMBASS MORON...

was a ******* 10a fuse in the cabin fuse box....it was dark when i checked it and it looked fine...never thought to check again.. then i was looking over the pinout and it said check EGI fuse...well after further inspection it was the small 10a fuse in the cabin
