Yes you are heading in right right direction. Check to see if there is spark out of coil. Spark at coil means replace distributor or rotor. No spark at coil replace ignition module or crank sensor good luck. Oh yea crank sensor is cheaper i would try that first if there is spark out of coil.

What is the engine size? Have you checked the ignition module? Check the output of the crank sensor at the ignition module to verify wiring integrity. The signal is shielded so insure there is no break in the insulation.

You are at thhe right trail what controls spark is coil pack crank sensor sparkplugs and plug wire but the most important is power . I mean 12 volt connections and ground This includes checking fuses you need a simple volt meter doesnt have to expensive or fancy just to pick up 12 volts let start with fuses in the engine juction box (there not mark to what it belongs to) make sure none are open. especially fuse 19 and 24 , next go to the crank sensor make sure the tabs are snuggly on now to the coil pack there is a red and light green wire this comes from ignition and feeds 12 volts at the coil pack measure that voltage is it 12 volts if not correct it this is from ignition switch ( you can make a tool that feed 12 volt with a wire and a fuse in series and attatch it to battery and the primary wire this is known as hot wire) next go to the ECM wiggle the wires see if that get a connection going if not go back to the ICM here are the wire you are to measure the tan light green, this is from ECM and it is pulsed it measure 5vlts to 0 volts switched then measure the tan orange the same thing 5 volts to zero,then tan white again 5vlts to zero. any one of these 5 to zero fails you fix is the ecm

I have a 2001 holden astra that yesterday took a couple of turns of the engine to start. Up until then it started first time. When I went to start it thismorning it turned over but would not fire. All the...

strange starting can be the oil line pressure sensor failing.if this sensor doesn't work correctly it turns the ecu spark off (oil light doesn't turn off when engine is turned over). as long as when you are turning over the engine and the rev counter is moving. if not it can be the crank sensor filed this also turns off the ignition spark. falling all that the coil pack has gone, but to check this you need a meter to check the connections.

Coil packs not firing on 2000 s type 3.0 jaguar

The coils have battery voltage running through the primary windings, and grounded in the ignition control module. The engine computer signals the ignition module when to cut the primary current, thereby inducing high voltage in the coil's secondary windings and spark at the spark plug.
The computer processes all sensor information, but primarily from the crank position sensor, to determine spark timing.

No fire to plugs on 1991 ford aerostar 4.o replaced crank sensor,coil pack and switch what else is there

If the engine cranks but has no spark, you need to know if the coil is getting voltage and a ground signal. The coil gets power from the ASD relay and a fuse.
Have you checked the compuer for trouble codes ?

Engine turns over but won't start. plugs and wires changed

A diagnostic check of the vehicle will pinpoint your no starting problem,but if that isn't an option for you and you want to do the work yourself, follow these step's:
Check for spark WHILE TRYING TO CRANK THE ENGINE. If no spark is present,check to see if there is power coming from the switch during cranking. If you have spark,check to see if you are getting fuel. If you aren't getting fuel,check your fuel filter(it coud be clogged) and check ALL fuse's. If you aren't getting spark AND fuel,then check the crank sensor as it is the controller for spark and fuel delivery.

My car was running fine i parked it and when i went to start it back up it wouldn't start. I've had it looked at several times by several different mechanics i've replaced the module,crank censor, coil...

Can you tell if your fuel pump is running? Also check to see if you have fire all the way to the plugs. Lastly, I'd check the exhaust. A packed exhaust pipe will not let an engine breath.

My 1997 Dodge Avenger's engine won't start

Try cam and/or crank sensor. If crank to cam timing isn't detected properly it'll crank all day but won't start. I had similar problem on my 2.5L V6 Avenger....drove home fine, no engine light, next morning it cranked, but wouldn't start. The crank sensor was faulty.
