Trying to find the Crankshaft Position Sensor due to no spark and the 2 wire connector going to the distributor. Which one has the power?

Hello,

I have provided the information that you have requested in the diagrams down below. In the diagrams below I have included a guide on the removal and installation of your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor [CKP] complete with a diagram of the sensor location for you. Please go through the guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

This could be a problem with your vehicle's igniter. In the diagrams down below I have included the wiring diagrams for your vehicles engine management circuits as well as the Original Equipment Manufacturer part number for the igniter and a diagnostic troubleshooting guide for your vehicle's distributor from the vehicle manufacturer. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Change the Igniter and computer still no spark-what's with this thing to include the coil.

Could it be an ignition switch problem measure the coil voltage reads 5 volts below at the battery terminal t on the coil.

Hello again,

Did you test the resistances in the coil like the guide that we sent instructed yet? This could also potentially be the problem. Please get back to us and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex, You have done a great job assisting me. I nail it to the secondary windings of the ignition coil, can you point me the direction to get to the starter relay location for a 1996 Toyota Corolla 1.6 liter. Sure appreciate it. Thank you

Hello again,

It is located in the Junction Box 1 behind the left kick panel of your vehicle. Here is a link below explaining how to test a relay, if needed:

In the diagrams down below I have included diagrams of the location of Junction Box 1 and a diagram of Junction Box 1's layout with a call out as well. I hope this helps.
