Car wont start. When it does start, it runs very good. Changed the crankshaft sensor and ignigtor, started right up. Turn off engine and try again no luck. Engine turns but no spark in coils? Any suggestions

There are a number of things that can cause this. However, we need to start with the four inputs to the ECU that could shut this down.

Take a look at the wiring diagram below and let's check power going into the ECU and find out what we have.

When you say you replaced the crank and pickup, I am assuming you are talking about the part attached below. If that is the case, then we need to remove it and inspect the pick-up tone wheel on the cam pulley. Basically, we need to find out if this is cracked or has another issue.

Please see the detail below and let us know what you find with this. Thanks
