Hello,

Can you tell me little more details of what you have been experiencing?
Is it cranking over but not starting or just making clicking noise or not doing anything at all when you try to start?

Generally speaking, an engine will need spark, fuel and compression to start. If the engine is cranking over but not starting it could be due to one or more of these components being missing.

You wrote ICM on the question, a faulty ignition module will prevent the engine from getting any spark or having weak spark. Which will lead to no start.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
