First let's see what's missing, fuel, spark or both. Do this remove a plug wire or coil on plug the insert a screwdriver into the boot and then hold the metal part of the screwdriver 1/2in. from a metal part of the engine block then have someone crank the engine while you watch for spark. Check fuel, do this remove the cap from the fuel rail test port and depress the schraeder valve while someone turns the switch on, fuel should spray out. NOTE to avoid fire do these tests in this order. I wonder about your fuel pump. I hope this helps. Take care.

Ok, check the following below--

1. Check the Ignition control Module for its operational value. it may be damaged.

2. Check the coils.
3. Check the plugs and wires.
4. Check the ECM/PCM/ECU(All represent the same device that is commonly known as the engine control computer)

Check these areas thoroughly for faults. I would also advise to replace the fuel filter and fuel pump as well.

I would be thinking that there is a good chance that you need to be checking out replacing the computer, if you aren't getting any communication with the proper scan tool then the computer isn't communicating with anything in the vehicle...... I would have guessed first off that the ignition control module might be bad but that is obviously part of the computer also, I would be looking in that direction.

SOURCE: 2006 f250 diesel....crank and crank

The first thought that comes to mind is a high pressure oil leak. The injectors have a snap ring on top that sometimes becomes detached and it will create these symptoms.

When you depress the brake it sends a signal to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and the PCM increases the idle because it predicts you are about to shift into gear. If the truck has a high pressure leak inside the engine it will have a hard time building pressure initially and once the oil warms and thins out the High Pressure Oil Pump cannot hold the pressure and the oil leaks faster because it is thinner.

You may have a leak around the pump area which is under the turbo also. The IPR which is the regulator that controls the oil pressure may also be bad. It is directly under the turbo as well. The IPR is located under the turbo on the High Pressure Oil Pump cover. You stated the seals were leaking on the IPR itself? If the orings are damaged or if the screen in the end of it is collapsed or even punched through with a small hole it will need replaced. Screen damage is usually a sign of debris entering it from either dirt from a previous repair or something is coming apart inside.

Make certain you have clean oil and fuel filters. Yor may want to check fuel pressure as well. It should be somewhere around 55psi on acceleration.

Additionally, I suggest check for voltage at the connector on the fuel pump. The pump is mounted in the filter housing on the frame and the connector is at the front of it. The pink and black wire should have 12 volts with the key on for about 30 seconds. If the pump has voltage but is not running, then your pump has failed. If there is no voltage then check fuse 2.40 in the central junction box. This is the fuse that feeds the inertia switch through the fuel pump relay. I have included a fuse box layout and a wiring diagram (click over images for zoom)...

Additionally, will need to scanned the PCM to know if some fault code is stored there.

My toyota noah voxy 1998 cranks but wont start. changed crankshaft sensor still no spark but fuel comes

1998 no such car sold, say wiki. 2001 and UP yes , 1AZ engines
so fixing a modern car with no scan tool, (not USA so. IDK)
the scan tool will tell you why spark dies.!
1: all fuse checked.
2: scan it after and during a 5 second crank, key not off let the tool tell you why it failed.
no engine told. nor country/ we have no such car in USA.
so not parts or books here for it at all to read to you./
to make spark takes what?
crank spins,ckp and CMP sensors all good. (look for 2 cam sensors)_ as some have, cam is CMP, sensors.
spark parts good.? plugs boots and COP good?

cam, timing not way OFF timed.
why does wiki say first car Noah is 2001. ?
sold mainly in Asian countries it says too,, posted in English.
with this engine (CHAIN drive DOHC)
VVT failing making PCM very upset to make spark timed wrong via bad VVT? called here VVT-i system altering timing by 50 deg !
no miles on engine told. bad chain guides.?
all 4 COP coil packs dead/ no spark on all or just 1 or 2?

DOHC engine, must be treated with respect,
when it dies,. do not just crank the heck out of it and bend the valves.
All the vvti engines TOY are interference engines.
(this makes more power ! and HIGH CR too 10.1)

MAKE SURE CAMS ARE IN TIME AND VVT IS NOT sTUCK 50Degrees off.!
most PCM on DOHC are smart and cuts spark any time
CMP and CKP shows gross timing errors, to prevent the train wreck above. "my Jeep would through , Cam/crank incongruity errors. scanned, (a true blessing this PCM logic)
learn this about DOHC and make better tests and inspections
SCAN IT.
GOT THIS, learn to post engine you have first, so helpers need not guess,


no country told at all, and some have no OBD2 until 2008 or 10
all 4 COPS dead? (coil over plugs) Spark coils?

How many crankshaft sensors are there on a Cadillac CTS 2007?

One crank sensor. It needs to go on a scanner. Both sensors are probably OK. Your problem is most likely the timing chains or guides. If ti were the crank sensor, it wouldn't start. Cam sensor would throw a cam code. Correlation means the crank and cam are not in sync. If you have VVT, it could be the actuator.

2000 chevy malibu engine dying when your driving. It will start right back up. I just replaced the fuel pump. All the gauges turn off and then go back up when it dies

if crank or cam sensor is bad, it will shut down car when warm. have car scanned to see if this is your problem. if you do not have a scanner, most autopart stores will scan it for free.

That car has 2 crank sensors , did you replace both? One is at the front crank pulley and the other is behind and low on the engine block, above oil pan. Be sure the ICM (ign control module has a good ground, (black wire) it grounds at a bracket where the trans bolts to the engine approx at the 2 o'clock position.

You should be able to remove the upper front forward cam-dust covers. With these out you should be able to align the cams to their timing marks. As for the crank you'll have to rely on the timing mark on the forward crank pulley/harmonic balancer.
I hope this may have assited you. If you in need of further info or images please send a note back.

check crank or cam sensor. a bad crank sensor will cause car to shut off while driving downroad. then will restart after 10 minutes. a bad cam sensor will cause simillar symtoms. but these should set a code. get car scanned for codes. if you do not have a scanner. you can go to any auto parts store and they will scan it for free of charge.
