I have a 1994 cadillac seville sls. Iam not getting any fire to the plugs. It was showing code p 041, witch is camshaft position sensor. Found it was the pigtail on it that came loose. Started fine the day I repaired it. But now its not starting. I wanna check the icm, and crankshaft position sensor. But iam not getting any codes. Need to know what to look for. Thank you.

See if you are getting spark first then check fuel pressure.

When I unpluged the connector for the camshaft sensor, my check engine light did not come on. When I checked the connectors at the icm, I didn't get a reading over 100omh. Could the problem be my pcm is bad?

Shoot penetrating oil around it unbolt it and twist gently to see if it will move upwards then let oil soak and try to remove with a pliers. The placstic is brittle and will break easily.
