Spark and fuel are controlled by the PCM (Power Control Module), the PCM grounds the ASD relay (Auto Shut Down) which in turns sends power to the ignition coil and to the fuel injectors, the injectors open upon receiving a ground signal from the PCM as well as the ignition coil fires a spark when it gets the ground signal from the PCM, now none of this will happen if the PCM does not get a signal from the CKPS (crank position sensor) this sensor tells the computer the engine is spinning as well as where is the piston located at that instant of time in order for the PCM to give the ground signal to the coil fuel injector or the ASD which gives the juice to those components.This sensor is located in the rear of the engine is a 3 wire plug and it sends its signal from the presence of windows in the flywheel.
