First noticed over a period of time mpg decreased, then one day engine started missing and quit and will not crank. Fuel pressure at rail but no spark. High mileage but engine still strong. I replaced crankshaft position sensor but still no start.

Can I ask if the security light is flashing? If so then this guide will help.

If not then we need to run codes here is a guide to help.

If no codes are present then I would check the ENGINE MANAGEMENT RELAY (L). There are also 5 fuses that run the system lets check those as well.

Check out the diagrams (Below)

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken

Will not run. Replaced crank position sensor and ignition control module. Turns over but will not run. Has fuel to rail but no spark. Any ideas or solution?
