My 1994 Plymouth Acclaim has a no start problem, seems to have fuel but no spark

What is the system voltage at the coil reading?

check spark at each end of spark plug pull every one and see if one is weak or not fireing could that could tell you if you have a bad coil clean cap and rotor contacts with light sand paper or wire brush check for moistor in cap... this will kill them dead in there tracks might just need a new rubber gasket for cap make sure you dry out and clean contacks first be for using again good luck

1994 ok I would start be checking the fuel pressure, if the fressure is fine then I would check to see if the timing is right.

you need to check for spark at the plugs while cranking.then check for fuel entering the intake at the injectors.you don`t say if its a 4 or 6 cylinder.if its a 4 cylinder you can look into the throttle body while someone cranks the motor and you should see fuel squirting into the intake.if you have no spark then check to make sure the cap and rotor is in good condition and the rotor is turning(if not then the timing belt maybe broken and needs replacing.also check the plugs as if they are worn so bad you won`t get any spark.a common problem on these is the coil pickup in the distributor going bad.there is a 2 wire connector that comes out of the distributor with a plug,if you follow this wire back into the distributor you will see the pickup.also check and see if you can hear the fuel pump running while cranking,you may have a bad fuel pump.you may have to remove the gas cap and listen at the filler neck or listen under the car were the gas tank is.if the fuel pump is not running then you can hit the fuel tank in the middle while someone cranks the motor and it might start.if so then the fuel pump is no good another common problem.there is a fuel pump relay under the hood on the drivers side that sometimes goes bad or there is bad connections.most of this checking is good for the 6 cylinder as well except you can see the fuel squirting into the intake.it could also be a bad computer that will have to be checked out at a shop.

when you say coil, do you mean the ignition coil or the pick up coil (aka pickup module)? It is located under the rotor in the distributor-if you replaced the distributor (did you really?) it should have had a new unit in it, the only other thing I could guess is you have some sort of issue with a fuse or relay for the ignition.

1st , i would start the car up and make sure you don't have a fuel leak around the fuel tank area or where the fuel filter is, also how long has it been since the spark plugs have been replaced, and air filter, these items have a negative effect on fuel mileage.

The module receives the impulse from the distributor and this can be absent . so if the coil and module is new then it is possible that the module is not being triggered on accordingly.

1 Inspect Ignition Switch Improperly Connected or Faulty Ignition Switch. 2 Inspect Battery Battery Discharged or Faulty. 3 Inspect Battery Cable Coroded, Broken, Shorted or Poorly Connected Battery Cable. 4 Inspect Solenoid Switch Starter Solenoid Switch Faulty. 5 Inspect Starter Starter Motor Faulty. 6 Inspect Wireset Worn or Damaged Spark Plug Wires. 7 Inspect Coil -Ignition- Faulty Ignition Coil. 8 Inspect Distributor Cap Loose, Cracked or Worn Distributor Cap. 9 Inspect Spark Plug Incorrectly Gapped or Fouled Spark Plug(s). 10 Inspect Distributor Cap and Rotor Kit Loose, Cracked or Worn Distributor Cap. 11 Inspect Fuel Tank Fuel Tank Empty. 12 Inspect Carburetor Worn, Faulty or Damaged Carburetor. 13 Inspect Fuel Pump Faulty Fuel Pump.

Sounds like bad distributor cap or rotor. If ones bad, might as well change both. Take off the cap and if there is a black color on the ends of the prongs, or on the end of the rotor, time to replace. Is it getting fuel into motor?

Same thing happened to ours - probably the timing belt. New coil, cap, rotor, wires, hall sensor, and computer - still no spark. Had timing belt changed and presto - car starts.
