check wires at throttle body. can use a 12 volt test light to check for current. if you have spark it is not the ign module. set meter for 12-20volts. should have 2 fuse boxes on this model, one behind right side of dash at floorboard

If you have a volt/ohm meter, you may want to first ohm check the resistance between the two spark plug towers on each ignition coil pack. Simply remove the spark plug wires from each coil pack and test. Both (if good) should test about the same resistance, (about 5-7 kOhms, but I don't have the exact specs handy on this particular vehicle. The reading may be higher, maybe around 7-12kOhms) but nonetheless, the reading of the 1-4 coil pack should closely match the 2-3 coil pack. If not, the new coil pack may be faulty and should be returned for a replacement.

Also, when you remove the 1-4 coil pack, take a look at the primary spade connectors (2 lugs) coming out of the ignition module. Make certain these are clean and free of rust or corrosion. If so, simply (and gently) use a finger nail file or 400 (or equivilent) sandpaper to file the corrosion off and re-attach the coil pack.

If one or both of these don't fix the problem, you may have to look at replacing the ignition module. But only do that after exhausting the other simpler and less expensive tests! :)

I hope these tips help you out or at least point you in the right direction! :)

1999 dodge ram v8 1500 my dog snagged my 02 sensor wires now the truck wont start no fire can any of those wires cause a crank but not start and fuel but no fire? Help

The electrical power for the O2 sensors heaters comes from the automatic shutdown relay (ASD). The ASD also provides power (not control) for the coil and for the injectors. The coil and injectors are controlled by the PCM.

So if the wires for the O2 sensor heater was damaged and shorted, it may have blown the fuse(s) for the ASD, and thus you would have no power to the coil or injectors. The wire for the O2 sensor heater would be colored orange with a dark green tracer. Make sure this wire is not grounded.

The fuses to check in the power distribution center under the hood are fuse 2, a 20A fuse, and fuse 11, a 30A fuse.

How do I replace my brake light fuse?

The break light have a fuse in the fuse box. If this blows then both break lights will go out. Its usually under the hood in the fuse box or its in the panel on the right or left inside where the front doors close. Some cars have a fuse box under the steering column. If this is not the problem then it may be a break light switch. These are located just up the break petal. Its a switch that gets released when the break is pushed with your foot.

I have a 1990 buick lasabre and not getting any fire to my spark plugs. there is no fire to the plug wires at the coil pack. i've got a knew coil pack, module, and crank shaft sensor and still no fire. can...

If those three items are replaced and it still doesn't fire up, look for a possible computer problem.
Or, look for a broken wire or fuse for the ignition system.

Good luck on this repair.

When starting it dies out now it wont do anything

first thing check under the hood at the fuse/relay box. unsnapthe top and look under lid for correct fuse. if fuse is blown the replace it,if not then have someone to turn key switch over to start position and u put your finger on top of the starter relay to check for a clicking sound.if that is good then check the coil with an inline tester for fire to the spark plugs. if no fire from coil then replace coil. also check battery to see if it is completely discharged. hope this will help!!!

My saturn SL2 died at idle...and now wont crank over...there is juice to the starter and the battery has 13.1 volts

Any starter clicking noises? Try moving the shifter to "N" neutral and try starting the car.
IF that is not successful, find the starter relay in the under-hood fuse box, replace the relay with an identical relay from the under-hood fuse box and see if it will start. This will then eliminate the park/neutral start switch and the starter relay.
Let me know what you find.

I am not getting any fire when starting the engine. I've changed the crank and cam sensors coil packs,ignition control module,plugs and wires. I did a diagnostic test on the car and it came up with PO122....

I had a 2002 dodge town and country that lost fire and found that a wire under the fuses box was broken this is the fuse box up front under the hood. I used a test light to see if power was going to coil pack I had a friend crank while i tested each outlet on plug that is when I traced it back to the fuse box. I hope this helps

1999 Subaru legacy will not start

Check your terminal connections, if they are loose they will need to be inspected for breaks. If they are broken you will need to replace the connection. Make sure they are clean and free of corrosion.

Other possible Problems
If the car wont turn over your starter could be bad.
If it turns over but wont start it could be any number of these problems.
Coil Pack
Plug Wires
Spark Plugs
EBX (Engine Brain Box)
CBX (Chassis Brain Box)
Crank Sensor
Fuel Pump
Fuel Rail
Fuel Injector

Good luck
