No spark on a 1996 lincoln mark 8 - 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII

Hi,

A no spark is due to a failed or malfunctioning Crank Position Sensor locacted by the crank pully, near the AC compressor.

Sometimes you can upplug the sensor and when you plug it back in the car will have spark again.
However,Replacing the sensor does require removal of the AC compressor (due to space limitations) BUT you do not have to disconnect the AC lines.
Simply unbolt the compressor and gently lay it aside, and that will give you the clearance to pull the Crank Sensor from the block.

Good luck!!!
