How do I get to the distributor pickup coil to replace it? The truck is turning over, but will not start. No spark to spark plugs, changed the ignition module, new battery, and used starting fluid. Also, any other ideas other than the distributor pickup coil?

Thanks

Your problem is not a pickup coil. You don't even want to know what it takes to change that anyway.

It's far more likely a Crank sensor but a lot more testing should be done before you can be sure of that.

start simple- SCan for codes- even if CEL is off...

the ICM is mounted next to coil CORRECT?
is there spark at coil?
KOEO is there 12v at coil? pink wire I think-
is distributor rotor turning?
