No spark.This is indication of faulty spark plugs.But spark plugs get power to spark from coil pack. So get the connection between coil pack to spark plugs checked.If it checked out ok then its faulty spark plugs that has to be replaced,but if coil pack has no power then its faulty coil pack that has to be replaced.But if coil pack and spark plugs both checked out ok then this problem is fuel related problem.In this case the fuel pressure needs to be checked.The fuel pressure can be easily checked at any local car garage.If its low then its faulty fuel pump as well as clogged fuel filter,which has to be replaced. The voltage for spark plugs and coil pack in voltmeter will show 12 volts.Its a 12 volt part.If there is no or low volt then there is problem with the part. ------------------ Keep updated with any more queries.Thanks.

Car died while driving, won't start

have you checked to see if you have spark? Your ignition control module could of went bad in the distributor, its a $29.99 part at autozone.

If you have spark, check to see if you have fuel, is there fuel squirting into the carburetor when you look in it and work the gas?

While driving on highway, my 2001 sonoma 4cyl died all of a sudden like it was out of fuel. put in 2gallons and no start. towed it home and found no spark. wires are 1 year old. help

Hi,
Check power is getting to low tension side of coil.
If it is - check Crank sensor for correct operation (use a diode checker and magnet)

Then replace coil / coilpack to elimnate that possible cause.

Check immobiliser operation if fitted.

you may have a faulty crank position sensor shutting the spark off. this will throw a code into the computer though my suggestion would be to have the ecm read for codes.

1992 pontiac grand am still dies, idles badly and backfires

They spark on a quad 4, 4 cylinder engine is distributed through a coil housing taht is mounted to the bottom side of your ylinder head cover. This housing has thin lead that run trough it to distribute the spark to the boots which fit down over the sparkplugs. Close examination of this coil housing will reveal tiny crack in the plastic along with carbon tracking, and these combined can cause misfire and/or no start condition. I do not recommend replacing the coil pack without replacing this coil housing. ( times out of 10 it is the fault of the coil housing anyway.

Car dies at random moments

But, you did not change the crank sensor (on the drivers side of the bellhousing, just where it's a real pain to get to)
