No spark

Hi,

My first suspect is the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor sends a signal to the power-train control module to calculate ignition sequencing. If it fails, you will loose spark.

Take a look through these links and see if the one listed as symptoms mirrors what you are experiencing:

Now, the easiest way to determine if this is an issue is using a live data scanner. If you can get your hands on one, simply plug it in and check for an RPM signal when cranking the engine. If there is no signal, chances are this is the problem.

If you determine it needs replaced, here is a link that shows in general how it is done:
