There is an easy way to determine wether your getting spark or not. Take a plug wire off a spark plug and put it next to a solid piece of metal like a bracket (somewhere you can see the end of the wire sparking) hold the wire behind the connection point, and crank the engine (have someone help). If you see a spark, you are getting spark to the plugs, but may still have a problem with the coil pack. There is only one way to find out. Take the coil pack off, and look at it. There are two types of coil packs - 1 piece and three piece (others may be possible) on a three piece, you will need to have each one tested to determine whether it's bad or not. On a one piece, pull it off and look at the glue like material underneath it, that part is called the modular (the coil pack(s) will screw down to it. The modular may be bad, and may be able to test it as well.

No fire from coil- replace crank sensor, fuel pump relay , new spark plugs

If you have fire going into coil and not coming out than replace coil pack. They can become weak and will cause firing to be muted. Coil should read about 13ohms with an electrical tester when disengaged from the cars power supply set on 20+ohms. Anything less needs replacement.

While cranking loud backfire than i restart engine again than it cranks than starts up,this happend about 6 times during 3 months. Car did same thing yesterday, but it just cranks won't start 98 olds...

Not sure if you have a 1996 Cadillac Seville or a 1998 Olds Aurora but I would check the Ignition Coil Packs. One or more of them may need to be replaced. Also if you were working on the car and got the wires plugged onto the wrong coils then the firing order sequence would not be correct and this can cause a misfire or backfire conditon.

Ignition wires cannot rest near the primary wire harness of the ignition module, which can cause electrical interference and a no start condition or a misfire condition

On my friends 1997 Cadillac Seville it was easy to replace all 4 coil packs took less than 30 minutes and made the car run much better. Just make sure to get the firing order right. If necessary find a diagram of the correct firing order for you vehicle.

A good place for mail order auto parts is rockauto.com

I have pasted a picture below of what an ignition coil pack looks like
