Replaced spark plugs and wires, repaired fuel lines under the car. Will start and run fine drove it to put gas in it and brought back to the house. Turned it off and changed oil in a different car. Went to start this one and it’s got no spark. But if I let it set for 24 hours and go to start it it fires right up. What in the world is the issue?

Good morning,

There is the crank sensor and the ignition module that are both common failures for this issue.

Hoping it’s the ignition module because the crankshaft position sensor was just replaced a couple of weeks ago. So then it would be the the coil pack or what the coil pack sits on?
