Purchased car recently. Had some engine work done to it, don't know what was done (missing some nuts & bolts & has some loose brackets.)
Did you say scanner not powering up or you not getting any code.because if engine not firing a faulty crankshaft position sensor or ignition module will cause no spark conditions.also check 20 amp ignition fuse to ignition coils and ignition module,check ignition battery feed 10 amp fuse to the pcm.check at the 16 dlc terminal at top ground terminal 4 that would be fourth terminal top from left to right.and check bottom far right terminal 16 see if you getting getting battery power.if fuse all good no power at terminal 16 your pcm could be getting poor ground contact or problem in the pcm thats not a home fix dealership has to run diagnostic scan test look for pcm fault or wiring fault.

1
Install a scan tool.
Does the scan tool power up?
Does the scan tool communicate with the BCM?
Important: The engine may start during the following step. Turn OFF the engine as soon as you have observed the Crank power mode.
Does the Class 2 Power Mode parameter reading match the ignition switch position for all the selected positions?
Select the BCM display DTCs function on the scan tool.
Does the scan tool display any DTCs?
Does the scan tool display B1477 or B1478?

?€¢
The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit.
?€¢
The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status.
The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
Diagnostic System Check - Engine Electrical
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
Lack of communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular condition.
The symptom list in Symptoms will determine the correct diagnostic procedure to use.
The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.

Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Attempt to communicate with each module on the class 2 serial data circuit:
• The body control module (BCM)
• The driver information center (DIC)
• The instrument panel cluster (IPC)
• The powertrain control module (PCM)
Does the scan tool communicate with any module on the class 2 serial data circuit?

?€¢
Ensure that the battery cables are clean and tight.
?€¢
Inspect for any open fuses.
Refer to Power Distribution Schematics and Electrical Center Identification Views .
?€¢
Inspect the easily accessible systems or the visible system components for obvious damage or conditions that could cause the symptom.
?€¢
Ensure that the grounds are clean, tight, and in the correct location.
Refer to Ground Distribution Schematics and Power and Grounding Component Views .
?€¢
Inspect for aftermarket devices that could affect the operation of the system. Refer to Checking Aftermarket Accessories .
