I would change the fuel filter before anything else, however, a fuel filter would cause it to cut off no matter how fast you are driving.

Hope helps.

It's on the rear of the engine; see below (click image for zoom)...




It's on the back of the engine. The transmission has to come out to replace it.




That would be common for the sensor to make it act like that, and if it's throwing that code, it's either a connection issue at the sensor, or the sensor itself and if you take it down that far to check the connection at the sensor you might as well replace it.

Hope this helps.

Just have the battery fully charged then try to start it.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

Do you know if you have any aftermarket alarm installed? After market alarms normally interrupt the spark at the coil. You can just unplug its control unit to disable it. Also this may happen because of reversed polarity on the crankshaft position sensor wires. It may be due to the wires being installed in the connector incorrectly during a terminal replacement, or a sensor that was installed has reversed polarity. To Repair: At the CKP connector, remove the White/Red and Brown/Red wires from their respective terminals and reverse them in the connector and recheck for proper operation. Also check this useful link to have an in-depth knowledge related to your no spark issue:-

On some models it takes awhile for the actuator to warm up and activate.It is possable the actuator needs to be replaced

check by listening to see if your starter is clicking over the engine and if not then you might have to replace the starter. My starter went out on me and did not make a clicking noise that turned over the engine which told me the same problem that your having too. Ok if the engine cranks over just fine but wont start is a statement that is not true whatsoever so please explain which one is it thanks.

check timing chain i'll bet it's broke, just replaced mine. make sure you check the compression mine bent four valves. good luck

Left Kickpanel

It's bolted to the back of the cylinder head (right side when facing engine) inside a casing....it has an electrical connector on it and it's attached to this casing by one bolt. Unplug the electrical connector, unbolt the sensor and replace in reverse...

When you assemble the brake, make sure that the springs 16 and 21 are firmly located in the brake shoes and that pins 29 and its mate have their springs on them and the little recessed and slotted caps (18) are in place and locked in the slots. (I do not see all these parts in the drawing but I am sure you will know what I mean)

i think each plug has its own coil pack on top of the spark plug ,take the cover off and have a look
