my son tried to take out a cd player, install a different style cd player. he cut the wires because the wire harness to the radio didn't fit. is it possible that the is an ignition wire mixed in with the stereo. since he has done this the car will turn over but it gets no spark from the coil pack all the way to the spark plugs. i have checked all the fuses and relays. all are good. i have pour gas into the throttle body and still no start.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

i should have mentioned before that the car was running before they decided to change the CD player. then it hasn't started since. not sure if the above mentioned would have anything to do with the problem. it all seems to revolve around them changing the CD player. I will look at the other stuff but not sure what it will help
