The engine started shaking like the ignition coil went out. I tried to make it home and it shut off on me and it would turn over but not start. I replaced the ignition coil and the crankshaft position sensor. Tried to start it to and no start. I took a spark plug out and put it on the prong of the ignition coil and no spark. I need help please. Thank you

Hi,

I'm not sure how you checked for spark. Did you have the spark plug grounded some how? Do me a favor. Try these steps to check for spark and let me know what you find.

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if you have a scan tool.
