Hello. I posted this ?. I found that when I checked the coil voltage in the start position, there was none. So I jumped the coil to the battery and the car started and ran in the run position without the jumper wire. There me be a bad wire somewhere. I installed a momentary switch to the coil for starting. Still curious about whats really wrong. Hope this will someday help someone else...
Does it turn over?Is it getting fuel and spark?
The spark igniter will spark with or without the gas supply turned on. As long as the control is in the start position it will spark.
Common reasons for a 1996 Ford Taurus engine that turns over won't start are a faulty compressor or ignition. The engine may not be able to compress the air/gas mixture well enough for it to burn when the spark fires or the ignition may be unable to produce the spark required to start the combustion process.
AnswerIf there is no spark I would say its the distributor.AnswerBefore condemning the distributor, check for spark from the coil. If no spark check the crankshaft position sensor.
car will not start up
Check your park/neutral safety switch, if it is not working it will cut power to the coil.
96' z28 won't start because lack of spark. Could it be crankshaft position sensor? I just replaced distributor.
IM NOT SURE IF IT HAS ONE OR NOT, BUT IF IT DOES, CHECK THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.IF ONE OF THOSE TWO FAIL, THE ENGINE WILL NOT START OR EVEN SEND A SPARK. THE COMPUTER WILL NOT KNOW THE EXACT POSITION OF THE CRANK SO IT DOESNT KNOW WHEN TO SEND A SPARK.
Check the ignition circuit in the Storm. Start by checking the crank position sensor, then the coil pack to find the lack of spark.
It is located in front of the drive pulley assembly. Yes it could cause no spark and no start. The sensor costs 70.00 to 120.00. on the average.
The first thing to check is the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. Failing spark plugs/ wires are a common cause for a poor cold start condition. There may be a problem with the coolant temperature sensor. Have the sensor checked and the vehicle scanned, but don't over look the basics.
if your crank position sensor is bad you car or truck will not start because you will not have spark
