Question: Would that affect it from getting spark to the spark plugs? I checked the distributor cap wire coming out of the coil, and there's no spark at all. Would the crank sensor restrict it from getting spark?


....but the crank position referrence sensor sounds like a better bet. Usually, even with a coil going bad the car will still run, albeit like doodoo. The sensor is what I'd check next.


Can anybody help with a no-start? Checked relays, they're good. Checked fuel pumps, there good. Checked spark at the spark plugs, no good. Is safe to say that it's a bad coil? Or can a bad Motronics also be the cause for it to not give out spark?

Thanks,

Charlie

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
