the coil does not crank the engine , the starter does that, sorry.
(if you ever had to hand or foot crank and engine , youd under stand that. (like motor cycles or boat engines, or per 30s cars.)
in fact will crank all day with no spark parts on car..
x2, the scan tool does tell you why there is NO STARTS, CRANKS OK. The pcm can detect, one missfire in 10 cmp;ckp signals.
- CRANK FOR 5 SECONDS
- release, key
- scan tool has DTC errors?, read the believe them.
no engine stated of 4 or more,
U checked everything but spark,
why, check spark at all cylinders, all most fire or the engine will not run or stall.
That test be first, if not starting (AFTER SCAN TEST)
IF NO spark fuses are next , not last.
lets do no start fails tests. (cranks perfectly 200 to 300 rpm)
- : check fuses
- key on, CEL lamp must glow, if not , ECU fuse blown.
- crank with scan tool , see P03xx DTC errors, see RPM dead.?
- check for spark? got spark x4 or times number of cylinders?
- got spark try test fuel now, runs for 3 seconds?
- yes, runs on test fuel now means lost fueling
- no, dont run on test fuel, means, 1 to 5 done wrong above or engine compression bad.
- bad fueling, huge number of tests. check fuel pressure now.
confused, try a shop and watch them, learn.
it depends if you messed with the distributer or put new wires on either way it sounds like a timing problem have you done any work to it at all what size motor is it the 2.8 carb or 2.9 injected i cant remember for that year or is it the 4 banger?
