I throw nothing away. I don't like replacement as a method of fixing trucks. BUT there are many times I have wasted many hours trying to figure out what's wrong. The cost, the easy access to parts sometimes makes it a good way to quickly fix a daily driver that you all have, that you need daily. The new ignition parts are not a waste, just a tune up. You have done all this diagnostic/using your extra parts and it does not run yet. So I was cutting to the chase.
Also, I was still typing my previous post while you posted. If you want to re read, it may have extra info/opinion.
