No spark from coil?

Bad coil drivers are somewhat common on these, you can check the circuit first to verify this. I've attached an illustration of a test for these coil driver circuits, you can also use a test light with the alligator clip clamped on to the positive battery terminal and back-probe the coil driver at the computer connector.

If it were the sensor the vehicle would not run at all. Now I've heard of the cam and crank sensor being out of sync but you can check that with a scan tool that has the capability to look at the pids, specifically the sync pid, it should read "yes", "good" or "ok" all scanners are different but the idea is the same.

Possibly, if the PCM is not firing the coil, then yes.

Hello,

If there is no spark only to the number two cylinder, then the coil pack is bad and needs to be replaced. The coil pack is bad because your vehicle uses a system called "waste spark" where two cylinders are fired at the same time, one on the compression stroke and the other on the exhaust stroke so the spark is "wasted". The same signal from the PCM is used to fire "paired" cylinders, so if only one is bad, the coil pack must be bad unless the spark plug wire is bad. To test this remove the spark plug wire. Get a spark plug and with a hose clamp clamp a wire to the middle of the spark plug just below where the socket goes the plug and run it turn your vehicle's negative battery terminal. Place the top of the spark plug directly into where the spark plug wire goes for the affected cylinder. Have an assistant crank the engine. If you get a nice blue spark then the spark plug wire is bad. If not then the coil pack is bad. Get back to us please with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,

Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft position sensor that is not working here is a guide to walk you through steps of changing it and the diagrams below to show the location for your car with the firing order as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Check fuses 11 & 13 as well as asd relay underhood.the cam sensor is at rear of head there is not interrupter.try resetting your security system this guide will help

Please run down this guide and report back.

First check the wiring/connectors of the CKP and CMP. (Make sure to check the metal terminals inside of the sensors for damage)

Sometimes the wires get hot and the insulation melts or cracks off, which will allow the copper wires inside to corrode/ground/break.

If the wiring checks out, probe both sensors for a reference voltage from your computer. If there's none, then the computer is bad. (For the 2.0-2.4L engines, the voltage should be 8-volts. For the 1.4L should be 5-volts)

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The things you mentioned are correct, but before you jump to those things, lets start with some basic checks.

Now, since it ran prior to this and you have already confirmed there is no spark, my first suspect is the crankshaft position sensor. Also, the ASD will also shut down fuel supply. Are you able to hear the fuel pump run for a couple seconds when you first turn the key to on? If so, then no to the ASD.

Here are a couple links to describe the crank sensor, symptoms of a bad one, and in general how one is replaced:

Note that a bad sensor may or may not set a check engine light, so there will be no codes. Before you just replace it, confirm the wiring to it hasn't been damaged (mice love to chew on wires), corrosion isn't an issue and the connector is in good condition. The easiest way to confirm a bad sensor is using a live data scanner. If the sensor is bad, you will not be able to get an RPM reading on the scanner when trying to start the engine.

If you find it is the problem, here are the directions specific to your vehicle for replacement. The attached pic correlates with the directions,

Fig.17 Crankshaft Position Sensor
picture 1

The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the engine block below the generator, just above the oil filter.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the air cleaner lid, disconnect the inlet air temperature sensor and makeup air hose.
2. Remove the negative battery cable.
3. Raise the vehicle and support.
4. Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor.
5. Remove sensor mounting screw. Remove sensor.

INSTALLATION
1. Install sensor and tighten the screw to 13 Nm (115 ± 15 in. lbs.).
2. Connect electrical connector to crankshaft position sensor.
3. Lower vehicle.
4. Install the negative battery cable.
5. Install the air cleaner lid, connect the inlet air temperature sensor and makeup air hose.

Use voltage setting on meter to check for voltage. Dark green wire with orange tracer, is primary voltage to coil. Check for voltage on that wire, engine cranking, you may need a helper to crank it.

That voltage comes from asd relay. Note diagram below, check applicable fuse for voltage. Any applicable trouble codes?
