HOWEVER... I DO have spark when I disconnect a Little fuse like thing on the wires goin to the TFI module but it won't start... but when i put it back in i have no spark.
i was told that it was ground problems...
Can anyone tell me where to start at ??

are you getting anything at the coil (spark ,volts)??? if not check to see if there is voltage at the coil. make sure your coil is not grounded meaning there are only 2 wires going to it.

Got a manual? I would look at the Hall pickup in the distributor.
What year and engine are we looking at here?

nope, unfortunately I do not have a manual..
its an 88 2.9L
where would that be located in the distrbutor. Is it that thing on the side like a magnet with 2 screws holding it in?

are you getting fuel? you should be able to fire it up with the the link disconnected. how are the plug's looking? do they have fuel on them when you try to start it?

i'm assuming the fuse thingy you are talking about is the whatchamacallit that you take out to time the motor all it does is disables the timing advance so i would go from there with your search.maybe this will give some of the other guys an idea for you. I just know enough to get myself in trouble and go buy more parts and tools
