I drove my 206,000 mile, 93 626 to work just fine. Went out four hours later to leave and engine just cranked no start. I started by changing plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor. Nothing. I checked plugs and I am getting fuel. Checked spark and there still was none. Checking the fuses under the hood and the 30 amp fuse labled ENG INJ looked to be blown. That was also replaced and still no spark.

I rented a code reader from Auto Zone but unfortunatly the plug wouldn't fit my car.

I have spent a couple of hours outside in this 15 degree weather and am cold, and frustrated. Does anyone have an idea what I should try next?

Thank you. A friend of mine also suggested going to U-wrench-it and getting a distributor as well. He also suggested a crank sensor. Good idea? Is there a website with a pic to see where it is located? I bring home @ 275 a week and have spent $150 so far. Would a used ignition module and crank sensor be ok? I had a friend tow me home so I have the car in the barn.

If you replace the distributor, as a unit, it has the #1 crank sensor built in, the igniter and the coil...here's a few test...BTW your car has 2 crank sensors!
