ok i search all over last night and this morning, i have read cars that wont start that have spark and some that dont still im stuck, i finished my instalation cause my valves were bent, car started ran for few minutes then it died, cranks but no start

timing marks are correct, my fuel pump is good, im getting fuel, compression is correct, fuses are working, all connections are good,im not getting any spark can anyone point me on the right dirrection as to what im suppose to change to get this mutha running again any sensor that i need to change before i take it to the shop which i cant really afford please help

the transistor is that were the sparkplug wires go to, CAS if this dont work it doent get any spark to plugs ? is that what you meen
Check the ignitor(i think thats what its called) it should be right next to the coil packs, if thats dead then you wont get any spark.

CAS and igniter could cuase this....so would a bad coil pack...noticed you didn't say you checked that....grab your service manual and check the coil packs...quick and easy and could be your problem.
 
i finnaly fixed my car, it was the crank positioning sensor the cause of my problem i took off both sensors the cam and crank to clean them out, i them realized that the crank did not have the magnet in it, :D i guess that i forgot to mention that i bended a little the sensing blade sorry, this caused my sensor to lose the magnet that goes in the sensor,as i read my manual that i got i read that this sensor controls timing as well as ignition for all newbies that car wont start, DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK THE CRANK POSITIONING SENSOR, as well if you accidently bend the blade its a good idea to replase it not just try to unbended your self it will save you $51 dollars and a trip to autozone i thank you all for your help......:thumb: :dsm:

hey i had the same problem with no start and i alredy change the power transistor.crank sensor is brand new,check coils they check out ok.But i notice that when i was checking the crank sensor harnes comeing out from the ecu they are all grounds and the same goes for the cam sensor need help before my car gets tow thanks.

My car started after almost a year of no start the problem was my aftermarket alarm.When i install it i forgot to put all the egnition switch wires back at the time i was also changeing the idler pulley so after i was done with the alarm i went straight to the pulley and after that my car had no spark,n no fuel and i thought maybe the fuel pump,power transistor,coils and wires, where bad so i change that and nothing about 2 days ago i put in a brand new cps sensor and nothing so i went back in time i mean i kept trying to remember what i did before the car was dead and SURE it was the alarm itook everything apart and found that i forgot to put a black/red wire back and after i did that brooooooooooooooom now my car is runing like new so if you have a aftermarket alarm and your boost gauge does not go to zero or none of your instrument lights come on when you turn the key to on or check the fuel gauge if it does not move then check the alarm wires well a least thats what happend to me so i dont know if this well help any one well i just wanted to thank every body that help.:thumb: :talon: LOL :thumb:
