Yes, it sounds like it's loosing prime. Check fuel pressure regulator

So you have no spark when the engine is cranking? If so, you have identified the ignition system as the problem. You need a diagram of how the ignition works on that model. Things to check are the Ignition Control Module (igniter), the crank position sensor (this tells the computer when to send spark to the plugs.), and whether the coil pack is getting battery power to the coils.

During the chemical reaction of combustion with a hydrocarbon, hydrogen is "freed" along with carbon and oxygen. There symbols are H, O, and C. The water molecule's structure is HOH or H2O. The main by- product is carbon monoxide or CO. Anyway if the water looks like clear water, that's normal.
