It can also be faulty spark plugs or worn out spark plugs causing this.Also it can be low voltage battery.causing this.Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes then reconnect and check if its helping to reset the no start problem.Also check battery voltage.It should be 12 volts on meter. -------- How to test the coils on Harley Davidson Dyna 2002:-- The engine should be cool. There are two large coil terminals and two small terminals.Measure small terminals with meter set set on "RX1" and measure large terminals with meter set on "RX1000" First remove the two wiring connection on the spark plug.Just disconnect it.Then remove the small connections on the coil.This connections are screw tight.So remove the screws. Now with the meter measure the ohm reading.The reading between the two small connections of coil terminals.The reading should be between 2.6 to 3.0 ohms.----------- Now measure the large terminals.The reading should be between 10000 to 12500.If the reading is not between this then coils are faulty and coil pack needs to be replaced. ------------ How to test crank sensor on Harley Davidson Dyna 2002:-- The crank position sensor is located in front of the oil filter on the left side of the engine in front. Put an oscilloscope on the sensor leads and spin the engine. You should see a pulse coming from the sensor.The CKP sensor has a B+ power supply, a ground, and a signal circuit.As the crankshaft rotates, the wheel teeth interrupt a magnetic field produced by a magnet within the sensor. The sensor's internal circuitry detects this and produces a signal which the ECM reads. The ECM uses this signal to accurately measure crankshaft velocity which is a variable used in order to detect misfire, spark and, fueling.--------------- Find the wire that goes to the B+ Measure from this wire to ground for the DC supply voltage. Measurement should be taken on the sensor side of the connector. Ground connection as well.On Dyna 2002 this wire is marked BK for Black. Do this test at rest and with the engine spinning. A loose connection could break as the motor shakes.If you have voltage present with the key on and with the engine spinning move the positive meter lead to the Signal wire. This is marked R for Red on 2002 Dyna. With the engine spinning you should see a voltage signal on that wire. You should measure the signal at the sensor connector and the ecm to verify it is reaching the brain.-------- Also with meter you should get this reading on crank position sensor:--- constant 5vac with the plugs out and 3.2vac with the plugs in.If this is the reading you get then its proper crank shaft position sensor.But if you get contact 5 vac with or without plugs in then its faulty crank sensor. ---------------- For ignition module testing check for the 12 volts on main ignition live wires.If its 12 volts when key is turn on and no volt when its turned off.Then its proper voltage and good ignition module.But if its 12 volts in both on and off then its faulty module causing this problem. -------------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Where is the crank position sensor and the ignition module ,coil pack at on a 1998 Pontiac Montana transport

Your spark plug wires go to coils, coils sit on top of ignition module.You have two crank sensors, if crank sensor issue, check the 7x crank sensor, on back side of engine block, down low, two wire connector, wire colors, yellow and purple.

I HAVE OPEL VECTRA B(ENGINE X16XEL)MODEL 1999 THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN SUDDENLY DURING DRIVING AND NO FAULTS ARE RECORDED IN THE ECU

Check gas and spark. Check if fuel pump is still working. Do you have fuel pressure? Or can you check the fuel pressure? With key on, the pump should have put fuel under pressure in the lines and up to the injectors.
Check ignition system by checking for spark at one of the spark plug wires, with the engine cranking over. You need to see a blue, snapping spark to know the ignition system is good. If no spark on one wire, check another or all of them. If no spark, and no trouble codes-could be a bad crank position sensor. This sensor helps the computer calculate the timing of the spark, the main sensor the computer uses to signal for spark. It signals to the ignition control module (which controls the coils and the primary current to the coils ((the coils-where high voltage is created to cause spark at the plug)) ). So no spark? Could be a bad crank sensor...or a bad ignition control module...
If you have a single coil and not a coil pack, you might want to test that coil, but if shut down while driving, sounds like computer related, so check ignition controls: that would be crank sensor or ignition control module, or in worst case a bad PCM.

2001 Harley Davidson FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide no spark @

Hi, Anonymous and the usual suspects are:
1. Fouled spark plugs.
2. Severely discharged or a damaged battery should have 12.5 volts or more and be able to pass a proper "LOAD" test if necessary, you may have a preliminary reading of 12.5 volts or more but little or zero amperage the battery is faulty and must be replaced, AGM batteries fail in this scenario more so than lead-acid batteries.
3. Check battery terminals for damage or corrosion, check the battery cables at "BOTH" ends for loose, corroded, or broken connectors, "INSIDE" and outside the cable harness, perform connector wiggle test and check cables with an ohmmeter if necessary.
4. Loose connection at ignition coil or plug between ignition sensor and module.
5. Spark plug cables in bad condition, shorting/leaking, spark plug cable connections loose check for spark leakage in the dark.
6. A faulty ignition coil or electronic control module.
7. Faulty pulse coil.
8. Faulty CKP, CMP, or BAS sensor.
9. Faulty ignition switch.
10. Faulty run/off switch
11. Tilt sensor needs a reset.
12. Security alarm failing to disarm needs reset

Spark plug in cyl. # 4 is wet and saturated with gasoline . does not seem to be firing . engine is running extremely rough . I cannot see under intake manifold to get to spark plug wire . is removal of...

i`m assuming this is a 4 cylinder motor.no you don`t take the intake off to get to the coils.you can get to the coils from under neath the car.have you checked to see if the plug wire is allowing spark to the plug itself.if its only #4 getting wet then the plug could be defective as the coil that fires #4 also fires #1 cylinder.its rare that the coil will fire one side and not both.(it does happen though).there are 2 coils at the back of the motor that sit on the ignition module.you could have a bad ignition module also.the crank sensor is attached to the ignition module on the motor side and the sensor sits in the motor and if you have to remove the module be careful that you don`t brake the crank sensor when removing the unit a the sensor gets brittle from the heating and cooling of the motor over time,also the sensor seal gets stuck in the bore.

Engine turns over, won't start, no fire at plugs. There's plenty of fuel, and no fire from any of the plugs. All fuses and fusible links are good. I pulled the plugs to check for a spark, and there's no...

What are you wondering is correct. Let check the coil first. if coil is good the there is a problem with the ignition module. If the ignition module is good then a problem with the crankshaft sensor. The coil can be checked by measure resistance of the terminals of the primary coil and secondary coil separately to see if it open. To check if it can generate a spark, once you identify the primary coil terminal, run 12 V wire to these terminal, connect a spark plug to the secondary coil, by just leaving a spark plug with connected with spark plug wire and let it touch the engine chassis. Now you have to make pulses at the 12 volts connection by making a break and connection several time to turn it on and off to generate the spark at spark plug. The ignition module is supposed to do what you are doing now to generate the spark. If it is bad, it can't do what you did then a spark is not generated. For the crankshaft sensor, only the shop can tell you it is bad or not. Good luck.
