No spark?

I have seen the ASD relay cause this here is a guide that can help with the relay location in the diagrams below.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Did you check primary voltage at the coil, engine cranking, dark green wire with orange tracer should be hot? The same circuit supplies voltage to the injectors and 02 heater circuit as well.

Can you check for codes? Do you have digital odometer? If not, you should be able to get some mil codes, if there are any? You cycle the ignition switch, on--off, on--off, on, then the mil starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. You cycle the key just till the dash lites come on, no further.

This is likely a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS)

Test the Crankshaft Position Sensor. It is located on the transmission bell housing at about the 2 O’clock position [if you are standing in front of the vehicle. Follow its wire up to the top of the intake manifold [this is where its connector is].
Disconnect the connector and use a digital ohmmeter to check the resistance at the “B” and “C” pins of the connector (the lead that goes to the sensor). It should show infinite resistance or “0”. Anything other than this reading means that the sensor is bad.

Another little “trick” to help narrow it down is to unplug the crankshaft position sensor for about 30 minutes, plug it back up and then try to start the engine. If it now starts, this means that the crankshaft position sensor is going bad and has an intermittent faulty. Replace it.

Do you have battery voltage at coil positive terminal dark green and orange wire-if not check fuse no.20 30amp and test out the ASD relay it powers the coil. Also the injectors dark green and orange wire none there were right back to the ASD relay it powers it too.

Check for power at the dark green and orange wire at the coil connector-No power there inspect and test the ASD Relay it powers the coil

Welcome to 2CarPros.

When you say pick up sensor, are you referring to the camshaft sensor in the distributor? If so, check the shaft for excessive wear or play. It sounds like the it may be moving around enough to hit the sensor.

Take a look at picture 1. It shows an exploded view of the distributor. Let me know if the cam sensor is what you are referring to.

Take care,
Joe

Welcome back. I will try the picture again. Since the first sensor was damaged, make sure there is not play in the shaft which could cause it to damage the sensor.

Let me know.

Joe

Welcome back:

That will do it. I had a feeling it was something like that because of the damage done to the fist sensor you replaced. Is it running good now?

Let me know,

Joe
