Tha car has a firing miss. One of the coil packs is not firing. Replacsd the one that is not firing and the new one does not fire. We switched the coil packs around and the same thing happens. The one coil pack does not fire and the oher 2 do fire. Could the problem be the ignition control module that the coil packs hook to or could it be the crank sensor?

Did you try to see if it was the wires or the plugs on one of those two cylinders thats bad?

Also check that the injectors are spraying or pulsing well. Do a compression check to check to see if you have bad compression on those cylinders.
