I'd replace the ECM (electronic Control Module). These are often the problem on older GM vehicles. It's fairly simple to replace. It's located directly under the distributor cap and rotor. Costs about $60 for the part.

How do you test an lawn mower ignition coil with a meter when the ignition coil is the lawn mower?
what are you trying to measure and with what type of meter? generally we check the module with a spark tester. if there is no spark with the spark tester we check the kill wires and any safety switches that may cause a no spark issue and if all that still shows no spark then we replace the module.
Which item is not a component of the ignition system control module starter solenoid coil spark plug?
Control Module depending on type controls the engine functions, transmission, ignition, etc. (test does not specify "Ignition Control Module")Starter solenoid would be the most likely choice because on older vehicles with points ignition, the solenoid has a Resistor (Run) post for and an Ignition (Start) post, but now we don't need resistors, but it still has to do with ignition!Coil supplies voltage to the spark plugs = ignition again.Spark plug creates the gap for the spark that the fuel needs to ignite, ignite = ignition.

What does a CDI box do?
A CDI, or Capacitor Discharged Ignition is a system that is linked to the ignition of some petrol engine driven vehicles. Its purpose is to store an electrical charge that is discharged through the ignition coil and thus increases the power to the spark plug/s for a very powerful, high-energy spark. This prevents fouling of the spark plug/s. A CDI can be disconnected in some vehicles and the engine would still run, but with a less powerful spark to the spark plug/s.
1988 ford ranger 2.9 L no spark still have power steering electronics just quit running changed coil and module - could it be the pick up distributor or timing chain?
I have an 89 Ranger with the 2.9L, was driving on the highway and it just quit. I thought it was probably the timing chain, had it towed to a shop and he checked fuel pressure which was normal, found no spark condition. He tested the ignition coil, pickup coil, module and wiring for faults. Failure traced to the ignition control module. He also replaced the distributor cap, rotor, and coil wire. If you have a no spark condition I would recheck all these because I think if it is a broken timing chain you would still have spark. The ignition control module is at the base of the distributor cap. Assuming your ignition coil and ignition control module are good, try the pickup coil. Stay with the ignition system until you get spark. i have the same problem with my 88 ranger changed distributor, rotor button, ignition coil, and tfi module, still no spark. If it is the timing chain it will not spark.

It happens. Just b/c you have a spark doesn't mean it's hot/strong enough to reliably ignite the fuel.

Why is there no spark on number one cylinder from the ignition coil?
After testing the coil for proper resistance and finding they had the proper values, I swapped them from one side to the other. The coil with no spark still had no spark. A new coil was installed, problem solved.
No spark at ignition coil?
I would suspect the coil itself, even with the wire connecting to the distributor cap removed, you should still see a spark from the connector on the coil to the body of the coil itself
1993 sable why Motor turns but no spark at spark plug?
I have a 99 Sable with the OHV 3.0 liter. I have the same problem. Things I have changed so far: the engine computer or (PCM) , the crankshaft position sensor, and the ignition coil. Still have NO spark to the engine. The spark plugs don't spark. I am still waiting for more info. Let me know if you have changed something I haven't. Thanks.

If just the fuel pump has failed you would still have spark. But, you could have serious electrical problems that caused multiple problems that included the fuel pump circuit and the ignition circuit to fail.
Why do you have spark going to the cap but not to the spark plugs on my 1967 mustang?
Plug wire, distributor cap, or rotor is defective.... You may need to set/replace the Ignition Breaker Points and the Condensor, 1964-1973 Ford still used ignition points and condensors in several models including the mustangs...

Why is car still runing after turning off ignition?
Your car is still running after turning off the ignition due to a phenomena called dieseling. The gasoline in the cylinders is igniting without a spark from the spark plugs. You are having carbon build up in the combustion chambers and it is raising your compression ratios. You need to go to a higher octane gasoline until the problem is fixed or fixes itself.

Why would the radio in a 1998 Chevy Suburban come on by itself after you turn off ignition and remove key?
Well sometimes the radio is hooked up to the ignition itself. It is just the ignition wire, if it has a disconnecting face plate then you can turn it off by taking the face plate off. Or if you would like, you can pull the radio out and disconnect the wire from the ignition and it will not still be on when you cut the truck off.
Why is my Geo Storm not firing at all?
Pull out a spark plug, rest it on a piece of metal under the hood, have someone crank the engine, and see if it sparks. If not, check for a spark at your ignition coil by doing the same thing. If you still have no spark, check your distributer cap and rotor, they may need replaced, or the whole distributer may need replaced.
