I was told to check the fuse(s) that protect the ICM

you are right the green should be the hot wire or positive just check with a auto parts store to make sure but im almost certain you will be ok.

I don't know what the codes mean but do they go away if you put the old ecm back on it? I think you should check the ignition fuse first. It may be located under the hood but also under the dash in your regular fuse box. I have seen them in both places on various vehicles. If the fuse is good then continue on. Next what I would like you to try is get a hair dryer and run an extention cord to the truck. Take the distributer cap off and inside on top of the distributor is a half moon type plastic coded little box wraped half way around the center shaft. That is the ignition modulator.
I want you to heat it up as hot as you can get it without melting the plstic and then hurry and replace the cap as fast as you can. Get everything away from the fan and run and try to start it. If it sputters or maybe even starts for a few minutes that is the culprit. It may even keep runnng for a while but rest assured it is on the way out.
These things are gold when buying one new. If you want a good laugh then call the dealers and asked them what they want for one. besure you are sitting down when you do. The aoto parts stores want a couple hundred for them. One of the greatest rip offs in the auto industry was to replace this 2 dollar item and charge what they do in order to replace the 7 dollar set of points. I myself suggest you buy the entire distributar at the salvage yard. Choose a pick a part if you have one in your area. That is one that lets you remove the parts yourself and you get them cheaper. The distributor should be no more then 30 to 50 bucks. mine I could have gotten for 30 but they were out of my model and I didn't want to wait. The next place wanted 80 but I told them I had 50 and they let me have it. They won't sell you just the modulator. The distributar is worthless without it.
Just bring it home and replace that modulator with your and not the whole distributor. besure the piece you need is in the one you get at the wrecking yard. It is a high theft item and people steel them and sell them on ebay. About 100 bucks on ebay but you have to wait for shipping and taking a chance the guy won't send you the wrong one.
So let me know if I have been of any help. The Raz

Could be one or several different things wrong, take you vehicle to your local Autozone or Advance Auto parts if one is available and have them do a scan to see what kind of codes you ECM migth be registering, the scan is free by the way. Good Luck.

Hi Deon,
Have you had a Tech 1 diagnostic tool check?You need to have this done to check for any fault codes..
If you can have this done and give me the codes I can then help you out more in depth to finding the problem.
Thanks
