Hi everyone. I have a problem with no spark on a 1997 olds delta 88. The car died while turning a corner. (It was running rough for about an hour before that after filling the gas tank)

I got a 300 error code and have already checked the coils, IEM, power supply, fuses, relays. All were fine.

I have changed the wires, plugs, battery, crank position sensor, cam position sensor & starter.

I'm getting fuel, the car turns over, but still no spark in the plugs. There is power to everything and I am running out of ideas & patience. My wife wants her car back & I want her to stop complaining so can anyone HELP ME, please.

Also, don't know if this means anything, but the car had recently been repaired because of hydrolock. We replaced the head gaskets, manifold gaskets, thermostat & fuel injectors then. (car ran fine after these repairs)

Thanks for the fast response. I rechecked each of these and still nothing. Although now I am not getting any error. So could it be the key? (it has a small sensor in the side of it)
