I have 88 chevrolet corsica. No spark at the plug wire put new coils / module on still no spark can the crankshaft position sensor stop it from getting spark and i checked all te fuses Bill

The Ignition Control System consists of the following components:
?€¢
Two crankshaft position sensors (A and B).

?€¢
Crankshaft reluctor ring.

?€¢
Camshaft position sensor.

?€¢
Ignition control module.

?€¢
4 separate ignition coils.

?€¢
Eight spark plug wires and conduit.

?€¢
Eight spark plugs.

?€¢
Knock sensor.

?€¢
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
Right hand rear of the engine, near the power steering pump

cam/crankshaft sensor? plug wires, coil? Has to be coil, wire, plug, ignition module, distributer / cap/ rotory button inside cap. You can find faulty coils bought new. New autoparts can be shipped from factory with defect.

Wires !!!!!!!!!
And Are The New Plugs Gapped Properly

the coil pack? fast way to test if it has spark is to take one spark plug wire off and turn over engine, you will see sparks jumping from the connector, if you don't it is most likely the ignition module, your local autozone can test the module for free if you bring it to them, other cause would be the crankshaft position sensor which sends a signal to the coils to throw a spark to the correct cylinders.

Check for spark. My guess would be the ignition module going out, but could also be the crank sensor. The module sits under the coils. Check all coils for spark. If any coil doesn't spark, you can try replacing just that coil, but the problem may still be the module underneath. If you have a meter, run a resistance check on each coil from the terminals to ground. If the same coil that doesn't fire aslo has a different resistance, replace that coil.
If you have a meter, check the AC voltage on each of the crank sensor wires shown as compared to ground or battery positive. If the AC voltages are different on the three wires, suspect the sensor is bad, but also check the tone ring on the pulley (Fig 2 below) for any damage.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5821173-doesnt_car_start_gasoline_engines for how to check for spark. These are genericinstructions.
The 3.3L engine is the only one with the C 3 I system. REMOVAL and INSTALLATION C3I Module See Figure 1

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Unplug the 14-way connector at the ignition module.

Fig. Fig. 1: Distributorless C 3 I coils and module system - 3.3L engine

1. Tag and disconnect the spark plug wires at the coil assembly.
2. Remove the nuts and washers securing the C 3 I module assembly to the bracket.
3. Remove the 6 bolts attaching the coil assemblies to the ignition module.

To install:

1. Install the coil assemblies to the ignition module and install the 6 attaching bolts.
2. Install the nuts and washers attaching the assembly to the bracket.
3. Connect the spark plug wires.
4. Engage the 14-way connector to the module.
5. Connect the negative battery cable, then reset the clock, radio and any other accessories.

Ignition Coil(s)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Tag and disconnect the spark plug wires.
3. Remove ignition coil attaching bolts, then the ignition coil from the module.

To install:

1. Install the coil(s) and attaching bolts.
2. Connect the spark plug wires.
3. Connect the negative battery cable, then reset the clock, radio and any other accessories.

Dual Crankshaft Sensor
See Figures 2, 3 and 4

1. Disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Remove serpentine belt from crankshaft pulley.
3. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
4. Remove right front tire and wheel assembly, then the inner access cover.
5. Remove crankshaft harmonic balancer retaining bolt and crankshaft harmonic balancer.

Fig. Fig. 2: Harmonic balancer with interrupter rings on C 3 I system

1. Unplug the electrical connector from the sensor and remove the crankshaft sensor from the vehicle.

To install:

1. Loosely install the crankshaft sensor on the pedestal.

Fig. Fig. 3: Dual crankshaft sensor - C 3 I system

1. Position the sensor with the pedestal attached on special tool J-37089.
2. Position the tool on the crankshaft.
3. Install the bolts to hold the pedestal to the block face. Tighten to 14-28 ft. lbs. (20-40 Nm).
4. Tighten the pedestal pinch bolt to 30-35 inch lbs. (3-4 Nm).
5. Remove special tool J-37089.
6. Place special tool J-37089 on the harmonic balancer and turn. If any vane of the harmonic balancer touches the tool, replace the balancer assembly.

A clearance of 0.025 inch is required on either side of the interrupter ring. Be certain to obtain the correct clearance. Failure to do so will damage the sensor. A misadjusted sensor of bent interrupter ring could cause rubbing of the sensor, resulting in potential driveability problems, such as rough idle, poor performance, or a no start condition.

1. Install the balancer on the crankshaft and install the crankshaft balancer bolt. Tighten to 200-239 ft. lbs. (270-325 Nm).
2. Install the inner fender shield.
3. Install the tire and wheel assembly. Tighten to 100 ft. lbs. (140 Nm).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Install the serpentine belt.
6. Connect the negative battery cable, then reset the clock, radio and any other accessories.

The Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Ignition Control Module also control the spark. It depends on whether your vehicle is equipped with the 2.2L engine or the 2.4L engine as to where these components are located and what they look like.

The problem may be with the Crankshaft Position Sensor.

The sensor is located Under hood, center, rear engine area, below ingnition coil pack and DIS module, mounted in engine block. It has the small elec. connecting plug.

Ignition module may be bad. It should be located under the coils, the coils usually plug into the ignition module. Also might be a bad crank or cam sensor

Check the spark on each plug wire with a calibrated spark tester.One can be bought at most parts stores.If two plug wires that are next to each other are bad then replace coil pack.There may also be a bad ignition module.Also check the crankshaft position sensor.
