motor run motor start.

I think he (Pishta) means jump the solenoid with the key in the run position and see if it starts.

got it will try it tomorrow after work
Voltmeter is often a good trouble shooting tool. Read the voltage at coil +, with key in run, and start positions. Also check the coil -, when cranking, it should bounce up and down. If it is always down, then no spark. ... and when you release key it will fire ... and possibly backfire. Stuck low, coil - , wire short to ground , ignition module shorted, tach wire short.

Why didn't I think of that. checked the coil no voltage strange checked the battery no voltage very strange checked continuity in my leads one bad lead . now things are making sense. The electric fuel pump is doing all it can to make 1 lb. Time for a new one. It did finally pump up enough for the acc pumps to squirt. It started up but ran pretty rough. I think once I time it and the lifters pump up it will be OK. sometimes I think too hard. everyone Thanks for the help. Jim
