Ok well I took a break from messing with her for a while and now I am ready to figure this out. She won't start unless I spray starting fluid in it, or pump gas in it. Could it just be that the gas tank is dirty or the fuel filter? When I left off I had pretty much become convinced that it has nothing to do with the ignition system, or the priming from the injector.

Still having to spray starter fluid every single time I want to turn my truck on. Any ideas?

Thank you for clearing that up Eagle, it makes more sense that way. I guess for good reason. Well I looked around and I can't find the leak for anything but the reserve is bone dry. Going to fill her back up. bleed it and see if I can't track this leak down. Hoping it should all be pretty straight forward from here.

Thanks, i'll check everything tomorrow. Today it's even worse. If I don't hold the brake it starts going very very slowly, yesterday the clutch would engage enough to keep it from moving. I looked around to see if I could see if it leaked but I couldnt find anything. I'll know for sure tomorrow. Thank you all again.

I have a 86 4x4 2.5L manual tranny comanche. Ok this problem came out of no where, worked fine yesterday now today it's nearly impossible to get into reverse and it's one hell of a work out to get her into any other gear. The release point on the clutch pedal is less than 1/4 inch now too. Feels like if i could just press 2-3 inches further all would be well. I am thinking it's either my clutch slave or master cylinder but I have never had clutch issues before so I don't know how to check. Any info would be greatly appreciated, also if you have any other ideas as to what the problem could be please let me know.

Well she fixed herself for 2 months but now I am back where I started but now even if she has been warmed up she won't start without a shot of starting fluid.. Fuel filter? Fuel pump seem likely? Really don't want to buy a fuel pump just to find that's not it but I have a feeling that's my problem..

Did you ever figure this issue out?

Hey I am having this exact same problem I have replaced just about everything you have as well. It runs great once I get her started and all that takes is a quick spray of starter fluid and she fires right up. Have you made any progress on this issue? or have any ideas? No one else had this problem?

Wow man really nice job. That looks very clean. You've inspired me to install a headliner. No more echoes.

I haven't seen this stuff, just saw it on craigslist. http://pensacola.craigslist.org/pts/2309795339.html

Here is one in the club for 50 + shipping. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=29800

It starts with starting fluid and once it starts it runs and stays running. I can drive it up and down the road but it won't start with out a quick shot of starting fluid.

Alright I hooked it up and while in run it read 3.62 then while being cranked it dropped down into the negatives and ultimately rested on 0. That's not jumping around in the right direction is it?

No it will not start still.

I have spark from the plugs. I went ahead and replaced them all though. Crank Shaft Position Sensor tested good. Power to coil also tested good. Checking coil next, and then if it passes I guess it's ignition control module?
