Ok good! Let me know what you find

Check primary coil and secondary using voltage drop with a DMM, if it is at specs than it is internal like CKP. I Would do the wiggle test on all your connections and wires as well. Also if the coil is not to specs and you replace it and still dont start i would even go farther to say is that PCM is problem. But i think its ether something very simple or CKP.

Dare I ask... It does have fuel right?

i didn't swap the injector pins, i've got 2 friends with 6 bolt swaps and neither of them had to do it , that wouldn't stop it from running would it?

This car is driving me crazy! So once again this car lets me down, I got a po420 so a few days ago my car turns off randomly so i pull over and then it wouldn't start just kept cranking finally get it to start and it dies on me over 9 times on the way home. Thinking its the cat I replace it with complete headers and test pipe but still no start. I replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, coil, and still nothing just cranks i could hear the pump still what the @$$& if anyone has any idea what it could be please let me know. I need to go to school and work!

PO420 is catalyst efficiency below threshold. I know that code by heart.

You mention changing all those things, did you double check to make sure your flex section is not collapsed? I've seen that a lot on these forums.

Take off the harmonic balancer and line up the mark on the crank with the mark on the front case and the marks on the cam gears with the dowels on the gears pointing up; the harmonic balancer is actually two pieces and comes apart sometimes and makes it look as though the timing is off. Also, doing a compression test on a cold motor will give low readings. If you take off the harmonic balancer and a couple of the timing cover bolts, you should be able to move the timing cover enough to see this:

this may help.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I did this though and the marks on the cam gears were far off.

Man that really blows. You put so much effort into figuring it out and now something that big. Sorry about your luck and wished things turned out better.

It's all good. Took a chance buying the car so cheap.
Got it really close and it tried to fire, so I figured the timing was off and guess what..it was.

Just gives you a reason to stroke it now. Lol.

unless the fuel guage just went out then yep it has a 1/4 tank in her.

also while im thinking about it, the ecu does it have to be bolted back into place to work properly? i mean do the bolts act as a ground or anything to that sort.

i'm about ready too

Well as of now I don't think it could be my crank sensor because I have fuel. So what is everything that would cause me to not get spark?

Crank sensor works
ASD relay works
starter works
injectors are pulsing

Look up no start in the search bar. theres your possibilities and answer for this already answered 4 million times post.

Have you checked the cam angle sensor out??

2g Jeremy, I honestly have checked all of them!

That is how I know I wouldn't get fuel if my Crank sensor was bad. Also that how I know my ASD relay is good. In addition I found out it nothing to do with the security system I un did and rewired because there is only 1 wire (black with red stripe) that feeds the whole 12+ system.

007Jimmy, if the cam sensor was bad I would have fuel but no spark to the coil?

Thanks.

Edit: can't these cars start start with a bad cam sensor? If so that is not the problem here.

I noticed that the car acts up when it warms up, I checked it when I got home and found a p0118. I replaced the sensor and fired it up and it died again this car is driving me crazy! I'm all out of ideas and for some reason not getting spark I replaced the coil and check the plugs and wires! Do you guys have anymore suggestions? Feed back is much appreciated thanks guys for your support.

no. This is why almost four different member have asked you to check it. Your cas controls your fire rate. If its completly shot I really don't think you get spark. I believe.

well if you searched everything, check the cam sensor if that's alright I would move to your ECU

Will do first thing in the morning thanks. And sorry but I know for a fact I saw a thread on here that said it will still start. (hate when people post wrong info and noone ever corrects it.

This guy had no spark and it turned out to be his speed sensor. You never know...

You could try replacing the coil pack, sounds like a coil pack, a blown fuse, or a burnt ECU.

Funny you mention that. I just bought this car 2 weeks ago and I HAD it running (thought the speedo never worked). So I should unplug the speed sensor and then try and start the car?

side note, what do I need to do to fix the speedo? just buy a new sensor and clean the connector? I know I read something about an input and output sensor.
