I do not get any spark to the spark plugs, I have put in a new PCM, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor and had the coil pack tested and the coil was good and still get no spark. Also put new ASD relay in and still no spark. Any suggestions on why I am not getting any spark at the spark plugs?

When you are cranking it over does the security light flash? Please let me know, Ken

Do not know for sure if the security light did anything. What does it mean if it flashes or not? Also checked the wires from the PCM to the coil and injectors and no break in the wires.

If it is flashing the system is enabled and the computer will cut fuel/spark. Please crank it over to see if the light flashes so we know which direction to go in.

No security light shows up when key is turn on and when cranking do not see a security light flashing. Does this model have a security system? I could not find any information about a security in the Haynes repair manual. Am I overlooking something?

Okay, it sounds like we lost power or ground somewhere. Here is a guide to help you test the power and ground circuit of the PCM. To make sure that are good and the wiring diagrams below will show you which pins to check.

We should run the codes as well.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
