Or as many opinions as I can get. Truck is an 89 22re with 200k on it. It's been retired to yard use only for last few years. Yesterday I was plowing my driveway, and it just quit. No warning, no sputtering, just poof, dead. I go to start it and it just cranks over, doesn't catch. The last time I had plowed the exhaust blew apart right where the O2 sensor is. It had blown apart, but the sensor was still in place. Well I looked under there, and the sensor was dangling. The white and one of the black wires had been melted by the exhaust. So I unplugged it and threw it in the truck. Cranked it again, still nothing not a big surprise. I noticed though that when the ignition is on, the check engine light doesn't come on. I don't recall if it used to or not. On both my OBDII trucks it comes on with the key on, then goes out when the truck starts. So at this point I pull the intake boot off and spray starting fluid into the throttle body. I get in the truck and it fires up, then sputters out when the starting fluid is gone. So I know I have spark and suspect the fuel pump. This morning I unbolted the bed, jacked up the pass. side with my high lift, and pulled the original 200k fuel pump. I couldn't seem to verify with my meter if I was actually getting power to it or not through the harness. The signal changed to a constant reading with the key on, but it wasn't showning 12 volts. But with the pump out of the truck and connected to jumper cables, all I could get was sparks from the battery end. No noise from the pump. So I suspect it's toast. But i'm still concerned with the lack of check engine light and not getting 12 volts to the pump. I did fix the wires to the sensor, and I ghetto-fabbed the exhaust back together so the sensor is securely mounted again. Any other ideas? Or should a pump fix it?
Best of Luck!
And thanks for filling us in on the outcome!
