It probably is the ignition module. Take it off and most parts houses have a way to test it. good luck

I took it to autozone they didn't have the hookup to test it,thats the only place I know of to test modules. It's $95 to replace it so i'd like to know if it was bad first.

Take it to a NAPA store. They have a way to test it. I by nothing from the Zone except if i can pour it out of a bottle. They sell very poor parts but you get what you pay for. Good luck

Suggested Repair

Have the ignition module removed and tested at a NAPA store, which can test modules that Autozone could not. Replace the module if the test shows it is bad.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1992 Pontiac Grand Am 2.3 Quad 4 that sat for years reports no spark. The fuel pump and injectors are fine, the crank position sensor was replaced, and power reaches the 11-pin connector but not the crank sensor plug. The expert suspects the ignition module and recommends having it tested at NAPA after Autozone could not test it.
