What sort of help !

You bought a car that wasn't working?
Who is they?

The timing chain was replaced when,after you bought it
& by whom,your friends with no experience?

The internet has pictures of the timing gear & chain set-up
& how to drop in a distributor & wire it correctly,as well as
how to diagnose & test ignition modules & such

Then you change a distributor for what reason?

Why would the fuel pump be wired anywhere or way
other than the way it left the factory when the car was built?

All is see or gather here is you & your help have NO vehicle
knowledge,so how can anyone help

Your throwing parts at what,for what reason?

If the timing chain issue started the problem,open up
the motor & make sure the chain & gears are on correctly

Them pull the dist & re-stab it in the correct position & make sure
the wires are on correctly-your done

Get a wiring diagram & return the fuel pump system to the way
it was built.

You can try & learn something from a 25 year old car with little value
You can pay a shop to get it going-may be the best solution
Or junk it- probably what I would do

When I was 19 years old, I was machining motors & building them
& didn't have all those problems & I had to learn for the past 50
years for the most part, on my own,work related experience helps
but you have to get involved,especially with the mechanical things

If you have a specific question, someone can walk you thru it
The internet & what is already in print is your best bet

You really need friends with experience & similar hobbies to
learn from

SOURCE: CANT FIGURE IT OUT

Is the fuel pump running? Take the gas cap off and put your ear by the filler. Now have someone turn the key to the on position (not all the way to start). You should hear the fuel pump run for about 3 seconds. If you don't hear the pump run, the most likely culprit is the fuel pump itself. Second possibility is the fuel pump relay.

There is no test for module in distributor, but they often cause this kind of problem. Also while in there, check the pickup coil wires to make sure they are intact.

SOURCE: 1997 Dodge Intrepid cranks over won't fire

I have this same NO START problem...
Began with tach giving readings not exceding 1200 rpm with strange 4000 + spikes.. Cruse control would not turn on or off at times and indicator light would only work sometimes..Had several episodes of excessive cranking to get it to start.. Stalling out while driving and even at freeway speeds.. Pulling the negative cable for 10 min. allowed it to start although with lots of cranking and put it in limp mode which required another computer reset to get out of.. Had thrown error codes related to cam and crank sensors which were replaced along with coil and manifold temp sensors.. Had the 9 volt power to sensors when key was on but the check engine light does not stay on with all the other idiot lights..
I wish people who respond would read the post first..
Original post states,
Cranks,No spark,No fuel pump run, changed some sensors ect...
If it cranks it ain't the neutral safety switch, starter or battery!! WAKE UP!!
Seems the computer is not turning on the coil, injectors or fuel pump for a reason.. Find that reason and you will find the solution to the problem.. Seeing as that the computers logic states are a dealer secrete the poster as I have changed many parts in blind hope that it will fix the problem.. Relays, sensors and ecu computer.. Did a visual check of all harness potential wear spots like where it crosses over the power rack..
Could it be in the wiring harness inside the dash??
Could it be a bad ground??
Can an alternator that has failed cause the computer not to start??
Can a bad oil pressure sensor cause the computer not to start??
Can signal loss from the TCU or BCU to the ECU cause this??
Is there an undocumented kill if the ECU thinks it was in an accident??
I can ground the relay line from the ECU and the fuel pump runs and pressures up and the other relays turn on as well..
This crank but no start problem seems to be common with a lot of 1994-2001 Dodge and Chrysler owners.. All these systems have become interlaced with undocumented safety features that baffle the DIYer..If you have seen this and have fixed it PLEASE RESPOND!!!!

89 mustang gt won't start only has spark when letting the key off

Use a 12 volt test light to check for voltage at the coil with the key turned to start. Connect the test light clip to engine ground and back probe the red wire terminal on the coil. If there is no power there, your problem is your ignition switch. If there is power there, back probe the same wire at the ignition module. If no power at the ignition module, the wire must be broke between the coil and the module. If there is power, the problem may be the engine control module. Let me know if you have questions.

I was running this car in my driveway, when it died all of a sudden and will not restart. I find that there is no spark, and the fuel-pump is constantly running when the key is on. Help!

Hello Ford Cobra.
Strange the fuel pump stays running as soon as the key is on.
This is leading me towards a possible relay problem that is also affecting the power relay that powers up the injection system.
Is there power to the ignition coil momentarily as the key is turned on?
If so the power relay is working and will lead to the next diagnosis step.
Keep me informed.

Lost spark after changing timing chain on a 1978 f250 no spark at all coming out of the coil. bought a new coil still nothing and a voltage regulater still nothing so whats up

this should be a dura spark set up. have the modual cked. changing you timing chain should have had no effect on your coil. also ck to see if you hit the distributer accidently

Timing chain change

I do NOT believe that the timing chain needs to be replaced until the oil pressure-controlled tensioner is at its maximum runout. That can happen in a few thousand miles if you race the car - or can take 150,000 miles if you use it as a daily driver. The chain will whine loudly when it is no longer being held tight.
