You may have a bad crank sensor. this sensor tells the module when to spark.just be sure to check for proper voltages and grounds at the coil and the ignition module.

SOURCE: no fuel or spark on my 89 chevy k5 blazer

simply take any kind of extra spark plug. detach the coil wire from the distributor cap. place the spare spark plug in the end of the coil wire. touch the spark plug to a grounded metal. in the mean time get someone to turn the engine over. if you see spark. then your coil is firing if not you know what your problem is.

SOURCE: No spark?

Hi, common thing with the mazda was the coil or the ignition amplifier going faulty, both of which are located within the distributor, the coil ususally gives the symptoms you describe, a weak spark. The coil is the most common failure aswell for your vehicle i would recommend a new one, also make sure distributor is spinning as it could just be a case of a broken timing belt.

Good luck Davelee

SOURCE: no gas, no spark, 1991 chevy cavalier 2.2l 4cyl

This is an all too common problem with the Cavalier and other GM J-body cars. Usually it is because of the crankshaft position sensor or the harness going between it and the DIS (aka ignition module). Without the DIS seeing a signal from the crank sensor, it doesn't know when to trigger fuel and spark.

Sometimes this can also be caused by a faulty ignition switch. The switch will allow you to "crank" the car, but it doesn't make the proper connections for the ignition system, so the car never actually runs.

The previously indicated oil pressure switch could also be causing the problem, but if you hear your fuel pump run then it's OK.

Hopefully this helps. If not, your Cavalier is as messed up as mine and probably not worth fixing.

My 1987 Mazda b 2600 2bbl, there's no spark from coil.

If there is no spark coming from the coil on your 1987 Mazda B 2600 with a 2 barrel carburetor, there could be a few potential causes. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the ignition control module: The ignition control module is responsible for generating the high voltage needed to create the spark in the ignition system. If the module is faulty, it can cause a lack of spark.
  2. Check the spark plug wires: The spark plug wires carry the spark from the ignition system to the spark plugs. If the wires are damaged or not connected properly, it can cause a lack of spark.
  3. Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs are responsible for creating the spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture in the engine. If the spark plugs are worn out or damaged, they may not be able to create a spark.
  4. Check the ignition coil: The ignition coil is responsible for creating the high voltage needed to create the spark in the ignition system. If the coil is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause a lack of spark.
If none of these steps help resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have the ignition system checked by a mechanic or repair shop. They can test the components of the ignition system and determine the cause of the lack of spark


It is possible that the black wire that is connected to the little black box on the side of your distributor could be causing the lack of spark in your ignition system if it is broken or not connected properly. The black wire likely carries a signal from the ignition control module to the ignition coil, and if it is not functioning properly, it could prevent the ignition coil from generating the high voltage needed to create a spark.
To troubleshoot this issue, you will need to repair or replace the broken wire and ensure that it is securely connected to the little black box on the side of the distributor. You should also check the connection between the little black box and the ignition control module to make sure it is secure and functioning properly. If the issue persists after repairing or replacing the wire and checking the connections, it may be necessary to have the ignition system checked by a mechanic or repair shop to determine the cause of the lack of spark.

Location of ignition control module 2001 cadilac deville

Ignition Coils/Modules
The electronic ignition system uses an individual ignition coil for each cylinder. There are two separate ignition module assemblies located in the camshaft cover of each cylinder bank. Each ignition module assembly contains an ignition control module and four ignition coils. Each ignition coil connects directly to a spark plug using a boot. This arrangement eliminates the need for secondary ignition wires. The ignition module assemblies receive power from a fused ignition feed. Both ignition module assemblies connect to chassis ground. A Reference Low and four ignition control (IC) circuits connect each ignition module assembly to the PCM. The PCM uses the individual IC circuits to control coil sequencing and spark timing for each ignition coil. The IC circuits transmit timing pulses from the PCM to the ignition control module to trigger the ignition coil and fire the spark plug. The PCM controls ignition system sequencing and timing events

1989 f-250 5.0 engine cranks but won't start

  1. The ignition system on your 5.0L uses a distributor type system and will include the following components:
    1. Ignition control module (ICM). Depending on the year of your specific Ford, it'll have a inner-fender mounted ignition control module or a distributor mounted ignition control module. hot sure which you have.
    2. Ignition coil. you replaced it.
    3. PIP (Profile Ignition Pickup) sensor. This is Ford's name for the crank sensor and is mounted inside the distributor. The most common name for this component is the pick up coil.
    4. Distributor cap and rotor. you replaced
    5. Spark plug wires. you replaced.
  2. The thing to keep in mind about the ignition system is that all engine cylinders must get spark and the one thing that will stop the ignition system from creating spark on a wholesale scale is a BAD crank sensor.Have you pulled a plug then using some insulated pliers grounded it to the vehicle and turned it over to see if you have spark, that'll tell you alot.takes two people of course.Best of luck and hope this helps.

Po 353 code

P0353 CHEVROLET Description The ignition system on the vehicle uses individual ignition coils for each cylinder. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls each ignition coil operation. The PCM sends a ON/OFF signal to energize the ignition coil to create a spark at the spark plug when a spark is required at the cylinder.

Possible Causes - Ignition Coil harness is open or shorted
- Ignition Coil circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Ignition Coil 3
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

My truck just up and died for no reason. I have replaced the ignition module, pick up coil, the coil itself. the coil wire. I cannot get spark and have checked the voltage to the ignition module. Is there...

If you check and test the coil, cap/rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module the only one left is the brain box (ECM - Engine Control Module)

No spark

There's no emergence switch, if there was it would only be for fuel and not spark, there four thing to get spark,
ignition control module, ignition coil, distributor pick up assembly and spark plug wire's check for spark at coil, more then likely it's going to be your distributor pick up assembly, the pick up sit in side your ignition distributor, replace it and it will start, hope this was very helpful.

I know I'm getting fuel and I know I'm getting spark to the coil ,but no spark to the plugs, I changed the cap and rotor and still nothing, could it be ignition control module?

Disconnect power to the coil. Take cap off. See if rotor is turning while cranking engine. If not, you most likely have a broken cam gear or timing chain.
