No spark?

The injectors pulse, I've also checked the EEC relay along with the EEC diode and they both check fine, just to humor myself I swap both with the A/C relay and diode. Still no spark during the crank cycle, only time I'm getting spark is when I'm letting the key go back to the run position, then it is only a single plug at random (I take it from the exciter ring making another or partial rotation). I've also checked the AC voltage for the CKP at the PCM during the crank and it is within specs. The3n I changed out the PCM relay and bam! The car started, Nice work 2Carpros you really know your stuff.

Good Afternoon Gentlamen: I just bought 1997 Taurus 3.0 L. The car was running rough so replaced spark plugs and wires. The car still running rough; I check the compression on all cylinders I have good compression. But I don't have fire from #3 and 4. I have replaced PCM because someone told me that would take care of the problem. But I still have the same problem; Can someone HELP ME PLEASE !

The motor just died after pulling out of my garage.I do not get any spark. I have coil checks out ok. How can I check the CKPS? Or the PCM?

Thanks for the response. I did check -12vdc and found it was not pulsing so I started to trace this back to the crankshaft trigger sensor. I found somebody had broken the latch that held the connection together. After reseating the connector, I then tie wrapped it together, I now have spark and it runs.

problem. Replaced ignition module & ignition coil, with no success. I suspect stator. Any comments?

Re: 6 cyl 3.8 ltr engine. New plugs. I'm not getting a spark. I used an induction type timing light and clipped on to the coil wire and then to a plug wire and had someone turn the engine over as I pulled the trigger on the light and it didn't go on at either place. The coil checked out OK with the ohmeter test. What would be the next simplest thing to check?

I turned the key on and tested the coil by putting a test light lead on the coil terminal and grounding the other. The light did not go on, so I guess there is no current going into the coil. I want to check the spark control module, as you refer to it, but I don't see anythng called out with that name. Could it be know by another name?

I went back and redid my tests. I disconnected the wire coming up to the coil. That particular connector has two terminals (female) and of course, the coil has the male connectors. I took a DC test light and put a probe into one of the terminals on the female connector and turned the key on, and proceded to ground the other end of the DC test light and the light went on. I turned the key off and the light went out. I'm assuming that there is the proper current coming up to the coil via that connector. I proceded to reconnect the connector to the coil hooked up the DC test light again connected one end of the light to the terminal on the coil and turned the key on grounded the other end of the light and it did not go on. Should I assume from this that the coil is not good? PS thanks for the diagram of the distributor, but my car does not have that type of distributor. Mine is described as a Universal distributor that has a diescast housing with a Hall effect distributor stator.

COIL TESTING: Prior to connecting the meter probes to the coil. I "zeroed out" the meter and confirmed the function of the meter by touching the black probe to the red probe and the needle went to zero. Next I checked the coil primary as follows; I connected the black meter wire to the (+) terminal of the coil and touched the other terminal (-) of the coil with the red probe of the meter and the needle went directly to zero (0) as if no resistance at all. Next I checked the coil secondary as follows; I connected the black meter wire to the (-) terminal of the coil and touched the post of the coil with the red probe of the meter and got a reading of 6 on the RX1000 ohm scale. According to the required readings, it looks like I got a complete coil failue. Do you aqree?
