I have a 99 dodge intrepid 140k miles on car 0 miles on motor.I just installed a 2002 rebuilt 2.7L engine. I cant seem to get spark I am geting spark out of no.2 and 3 but no others I have checked the crank and cam sensors and they seem fine I also checked the coil packes they are fine and have no shorts and good grounds.I also have power and ground to the pcm and no trouble codes are coming up what could this be?Bad PCM? Or do I need to have the car programed by the dealer? Any help would be great I am a auto body tech in need of a machanic

IT is really strange that no codes are showing when it has to have misfires on some cylinders.

What led up to the engine replacement, anything that could have already had those symptoms or was it the typical oil sludge problem they had?

IF you have anti-theft, the pcm needs to have it programed into it' This is out of mitchell. Do you still get spark on the same cyls or none of them now?

hello

If I recall right the 2.7 have 6 coils on it
U has to pull wire of each one and check if you have power and when cranking u get pulse
With key on all should have battery power on one of the wires?
And the PCM will ground and pulse the other wire if that is happening the coils are bad if not happening
Trace the wiring and then if all ok and good u can say the PCM bad
Very uncommon but can happen
Check if u plugged the wrong wire in a wrong pluG
It’s not a cam or crank u have spark on 2 cylinders
WIRES....... COIL......... PCM

Good luck
Let me know
