Hello there
This is a fairly common problem with this year of vehical
Normally you will want to look under the hood at the fuse compartment for the ignition fuse and see if it is blown also look under the dash to see is there is a fuse there too
Now if all fuses there are tessted and are ok than this would mean that your spark modulator or coil pac as it may be reffered to is bad i would test those first..
further more there is a crankshaft position sensor that may be bad too it is located on the engine block about half way down towards the middle and has a wire that is plugged into it check to see that the wires are all in good working order and are not wet if so it will shour out the sensor and need to be replaced ok?
Hope this helps out
Best regards Michael

Engine starts but wont turn over. No spark to coil pack. No fault showing on computer.

What make an year vehicle do you have ? A faulty sensor could bring down the 5volt reference circuit in the PCM / ECM , causing no spark ,no crank . Does the check engine light come on when you turn the key on an go off after a few seconds ? Not trying to start the vehicle , just key in the on position . As far as the TDC sensor , need to know make , model an year vehicle . They put them in different places !

I put in a new timing belt but when i start engine there is no sprocket do you know what causes it?

have the OBD codes read you may have left a lead off somewhere the code reader should point you in the right direction , dont want to alarm you but if the timing belt breaks whilst engine running it will almost certainly cause some sort of damage so might not be as simple as no spark

On my blazer 1,3,6 are filling up with gas it has pressure dont know what to do know.. please help

If you are talking about your spark plugs filling up with gas 1,3 and 6 then you have a serious problem you will soon have misfiring and can cause a fire you must replace your rings and clean out that gas do not try to use gappers in the spark plugs as this will only cause more misfiring.

My 93 honda prelude dont start i did a full overhaul but i can get it to start timing is right so i dont know wat to do next

Timing is right, but the firing order is incorrect then it could not start. Make sure connection at the spark plug is in the firing order. Let get back to the basic: need spark and fuel. After several cranking, take plug # 1 out to see if it wet. If it is wet then you have fuel. If it is dry then you don't have fuel. Start to find out what is the root cause for fuel not coming. Now touch the spark plug to the engine chassis and have a helper to start engine. If there is spark strong then you have spark. If no spark then you know what to do: find the root cause of the problem. If you have spark and fuel then need to recheck timing by Top Dead Center: Piston #1 is up, mark at camshaft and 0 mark at crankshaft all line up together while intake and exhaust valve closed. Good luck.

Car wont start but will crank dont know what it is

There are several things that can cause this to happen.
1) crank sensor has failed, it will result in no spark at the plug and no injector pulse.
2) Fuel pump circuit has failed, this could be caused by a blown fuel pump fuse, bad relay, vehicle security system failure or a failed fuel pump.
3) Ignition module failure, causing a no spark at the spark plug only.

Is or has the service engine light been on lately while driving?
If so, the vehicle would be scaned for trouble codes and will give a clue as to what the problem might be.

Have a knock in my 1994 z28 and was told it was spark knock. today it throws 2 codes 36 and 42, would these 2 codes cause spark knock?

I dont think you can get a spark knock as i have never heard of that one BUT it could be a spark jumping from lead or plug to earth on engine (BUT THAT WOULD GIVE YOU A MISFIRE) OR it could be a tappet taping as its could be getting low in oil pressure OR the camshaft or rocker is worn a bit causing a slight bigger gap than usual so check it out and let me know Ron
