2001 Thunderbird mileage: 102,000. The engine cranks, no start, no spark. What type of signal comes from the crank and cam sensors? How can I check to see if they are good? How can I check the spark control Module and the coil? Ford checked out the car and said it was a wiring problem on the ignition harness. I removed it checked every wire and nothing is wrong with the harness. Where can I find the exact specs and schematics on the ignition?

The crank and cam angle sensors put out an AC voltage signal. The best way to check the spark control module and the coil is by substitution of a known good unit. A Mitchell 1 auto repair manual or a specialty repair book for your make of car will have diagrams and or specifications showing what you are looking for.
