My car has been dead for over a year and a half now. When it died, it wasn't getting any spark whatsoever. We've tried replacing the ignition, fuel pump, and fuel filter. The plugs and wires are fine as well. We're guessing that it's either something electrical or the computer has gone out. Mainly, we haven't had the money to keep doing guess work on it. So it's just been sitting. :( Thoughts? Ideas? :confused::banghead:
 
Check or sswap cas. I know those go bad on 2g motors. Also swap out ecu with another known working one. How bout your coil pack? Is that getting power?
 
I'm not sure about the coil pack and we don't have another ECU to change it out with. Also, please forgive my ignorance, but what is the or sswap cas?
 
Anytime you don't get spark, you might want to check the cam and crank sensor. ECM looks for those signal to send spark to the spark plugs. If you have a bad coil or wire, you should at least get some spark on one of the cylinder. Hope this help.
