I've been having ignition issues lately. All involved no-spark.
Firstly, the car would randomly cut, and then not want to restart, I'd have to wait between 5-20 minutes to try cranking again, then it would start. I changed the Crank Sensor, and the problem immediately went away, for a week.
The engine got soaked in a heavy rainstorm, and initially there was no problem, but then it returned. I changed the Cam sensor and, again it immediately went away, but only lasted a day.
I now realize the car will start when the engine is cold, but not when it's warmed up. It fired right up this morning, and I drove it for 10 minutes to warm it up, and when I got back home it's the same problem: Cranking but no start.
I'm not getting any spark at the plug wires, but I can push start the car and it will run okay until I switch off again.
