well, a while back I took my Rodeo to the local CAT scales to find out its weight along with my trailer. while there, I suffered the misfortune of a dead battery and wasn't able to unload for empty weight. I solicited help from a curious diesel mech who was on his lunch break and offered to bring over his service truck and give me a jump. it jumped right away but due to some clutch problems, cut off again. So back out with the jumper cables... this time, nothing. no starter, totally dead, she's not even turning over.

When I got back to my shop I quickly discovered a blown 100A main fusable link (maybe due to the high output electrical system on the service truck, who knows). Took me a bit to find a replacement, but got one and now the starter will turn over just fine, but she won't ignite. I've checked, we're getting fuel, just no spark. with the blown 100A link, I'm wondering what else may have fried before it let go. I've already checked the fuse boxes and couldn't find anything else tripped.

can anybody help me out with a checklist of components for a basic ignition sequence (3.2L SOHC)? I assume my haynes manual's got a procedure for checking the coil packs with an ohm meter which is my next on my list to rule out. I've verified the fuses. haven't checked the relays, but did swap a few just to make sure. and what about the ECM? anyway to know its good? I'm hoping it remained intact, but I'm afraid its the worst case scenario.

I hate chasing down electrical problems, so any advise to save me some time and approach this methodical would be appreciated.

Thanks
