Help! 96 e250 5.8 no start
 

Hi all...I seriously need help here...this e250 has been a nightmare since i got it a couple months ago. First came the waterpump broken bolts etc...NOW...its not starting and not getting any spark.

I will run it down...

After the Waterpump/fanclutch/idler pully/tensioner and belt replacement....It was running like crap. It had some sort of egr code which i blasted some intake cleaner in and it fixed it. Running ok...light miss...still running hot...and aq slow start after warmed up. Well...I use it for work and just figured I would fix the miss etc this weekend. NOOOOO...It leaves me on the freeway having to be towed. Now it wont start...no spark at pugs but power going to the NEW coil. I have got to get this going as quickly as I can...I work for myself and this is the transpo!! HELP!

Some issues for no start and no spark could involve crank sensor, PCM , ignition module, wiring connections.
Replacing a water pump gets us into the coil area and we don't know if the connection /signal from the PCM to the coil is present..
When we are in business there is never a good time to get routine maintenance done. It does pay off in the long run.
Your best bet would be to have someone with the equip and knowledge check it out.

Right, sometimes DIY is not a good idea.
