bad crank shaft position sensor
have you replaced and or tested both coils? are you getting no spark on the intake and the exaust sides?
check coils stator and all connections test procedure check coils stator and all connections test procedure
the coils are directly on top of each spark plug. they are round and have an electrical plug coming out of the side.
There is an ignition coil connected to the top of each spark plug...so if you have a 6 cylinder motor, you have 6 plugs and 6 coils.
96' z28 won't start because lack of spark. Could it be crankshaft position sensor? I just replaced distributor.
if you are not getting spark in your coils iti could be the crankshaft sensor im not a mechanic lol but i have the same problem with mine im trying to find out how to install the sensor i replaced the coils and the ignition module and still no spark
no. a hammer is a good way to fix it

I would replace the ignition module in the distributor.
Your coils make the high voltage needed to arc a spark across the plug gap. Take out each plug in turn and earth it against the engine block, if there is a bright blue spark when you turn over the engine the coils are good, if it is yellow your condenser is at fault. If spark is good your timing could be out.
no

The coils are bolted to the side of the engine, The spark plugs are under the coils, NO PLUG WIRES. unbolt the coils and use A spark plug socket.
1995 ford ranger 4wd cranks over but no spark, replaced crank sensor Check battery power to coil connector, if that is good coil can be tested w/multimeter.
plugs gone or maybe the coils
Change the coils they should be two black blocks on top of the engine..the coils could have gone bad.
did you check to make sure the spark plug wells did not have oil in them? If they do then you need to get the valve cover gasket replaced. The oil covering the spark plug will cause it to misfire. But don't worry. You didn't waste any money. Once the coils begin to misfire they are usually dead afterward. Do make sure though that they do a complete replacement as the actual valve cover gasket is not the issue. The real issue is the grommets. If you do it yourself you will have to go to the Ford dealership to get the kit.
