I had the same issue and replaced the ignition control module and it started up fine. I also replaced the O2 sensor.
yes there is but i am unsure of where it sits on the engine. i am unable to get spark to my plugs and most people have told me the problem is the crank sensor.
It tells the the spark plugs when to fire.
The crank sensor is a crucial ignition component, and the absence of Top Dead Center transition signal to the computer from this sensor normally results in no spark to the plugs.
possibble bad ignition coil
I would suggest cheking the coil pack which allows power to plugs,also check crank sensor and ecm ,could also be ignition transformer.
That year did not use a crank sensor. If the engine won't fire at the plugs then the most COMMON problem would be the ignition module in the distributor has gone bad.
If you have to crank and crank to get it started look for the coolant temperature sensor and change it. This is just one reason for hard start and is the most popular reason. Other reasons could be plugs, plug wires, coil pack, crank sensor, cam sensor and more.
I would start off by checking the crank shaft sensor when this sensor goes out the plugs will not fire.
Symptoms of a bad crank sensor is hard starting, no starting or rough idle. If you're able to start the engine, and it runs for a few minutes or seconds and then dies out, most likely it's a bad crank position sensor. Also, there may be no spark in some of the spark plugs.
Hi # The crank sensor is located in the center above the harmonic balancer on the EF motor. # Mine has 2 white wires attached to a plastic connection which plugs into the crank sensor. Hope this helps. Sam
the cam sensor reads speed and works with the crank position sensor to tell your coil packs when to fire your spark plugs and what cylinder to fire on
There is no way for us to know that.
