2002 sebring won't start

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

ZX2 ACTUAL

1998-2003 2.0 L (1989 cc) Zetec, DOHC I4, 130 hp (97 kW) at 5,750 rpm, 127 ft?lbf (172 N?m) at 4,250 rpm, redline 6,500 rpm, 7,200 rpm rev limiter ZX2
1342 FIRING ORDER, AND 1 AND 4 FIRE AT ONCE.
AS DOES 3 AND 2
INSIDE ONLY 2 COILS
MY 1975 HONDA CB750 HAD SAME THING. BACK THEN,.

CLEAR AS DAY HERE, IF DONE WRONG.

ever see the car run good before, or just died dead? out of the blue?>
cranks ok or not. (grrrr grrrrr sound, or not)_ called cranking the crank shaft. fast.
cranks starter motor fast and not starting?
or never cranks the starter motor at all silent starter?????

2002 Dodge Neon, with secret motor under the hood.
2.0 liter engine, 132HP. or he 2.4L I an not guess engines ever
SOHC or DOHC engine were there, both an OPTION./
VIN F or VIN C engine they are not the same.
the twin cam engine DOHC is interference engine that must not be timed wrong ever. I'm told both are but my test is most strict ask.
"Power on no 1 and 2 coil plug wires but none on no 3"
does power mean HV spark or the primary side has power
yes it does if fuse is not blown, all fuses good is first. ok , all.
ASD sends 12vdc to the spark coils.

"Looks like it is one tooth out on timing.( the cam belt wrong?)
really? no engine PCM likes that, it can bend valves on some engines. never time a cam wrong .or boom happens.
the non COP engine (1 coil pack)
has just 1 coil pack with 4 HV terminals
there is no spark timing at all, (is cmp + ckp)_
cam wrong wrecks cam time and spark both.
CMP sensors and CKP sensors set spark timing, and are fixed in the case of crank. (the cam CMP sensor will be off if belt is timed wrong.
WASTED SPARK if you replaced the 4 spark wires 1 by 1,
there would be no mixup and spark would be good.
Coil No. 1 fires cylinders 1 and 4. Coil No. 2 fires cylinders Nos. 2 and 3.
if you mix up the 4 wires HV it will not run
mixing 1 to 4 works, but the wires are too short
mixing 2 and 3 works, same deal
mixing 1 to 2 or 4 to 3 is FAIL
see why> firing order wrong. PCM does the older not you.
if you wreck the order it will not run.
4COPS can mix all you what so there I did both engines

the cam belt is a 60,000 service, if skipped the DOHC blows up.
piston hits valves and boom valves bent and heads a train wreck from H3LL. and compression not 200psi but 5. BOOM.
never skip cam belt service, did you?
did you drive it till it DIED? not told
or just doing normal service now.?
history matters, next time ask for help before going broke on part not needed
btw the quad spark pack the best ones are marked clear as day
1,2,3,4 at HV terms
and engine is
cambelt 1,2,3,4 , trans.
to test for spark only unplug 1 plug or get wrong results on 4 in 1 pack.
the 4cop spark coils test them any why you want even all at once.

always assume interference or go broke fast
and some engine heads milled become interference and you can't know that standing far away 3 feet.
there are some DOHC engines that are free running
means cam stalled and crank spins and zero damage

if you bought a dead car(my act for years) we check compression first not buy tons of parts praying for a dead engine to run.
even engines on a pallet used. I test them.
time the cam per the service manual
if you'd tell what engine was there I'd post it.



note the better coil pack
to test # 2 or 3 both spark plugs 2 and 3 must be connected
and shells ground to the engine block or both fail.
and both spark wires can not be open, mag wire is best.
this is called wasted spark and is only 2 coils if you look closer

1998 no such car sold, say wiki. 2001 and UP yes , 1AZ engines
so fixing a modern car with no scan tool, (not USA so. IDK)
the scan tool will tell you why spark dies.!
1: all fuse checked.
2: scan it after and during a 5 second crank, key not off let the tool tell you why it failed.
no engine told. nor country/ we have no such car in USA.
so not parts or books here for it at all to read to you./
to make spark takes what?
crank spins,ckp and CMP sensors all good. (look for 2 cam sensors)_ as some have, cam is CMP, sensors.
spark parts good.? plugs boots and COP good?

cam, timing not way OFF timed.
why does wiki say first car Noah is 2001. ?
sold mainly in Asian countries it says too,, posted in English.
with this engine (CHAIN drive DOHC)
VVT failing making PCM very upset to make spark timed wrong via bad VVT? called here VVT-i system altering timing by 50 deg !
no miles on engine told. bad chain guides.?
all 4 COP coil packs dead/ no spark on all or just 1 or 2?

DOHC engine, must be treated with respect,
when it dies,. do not just crank the heck out of it and bend the valves.
All the vvti engines TOY are interference engines.
(this makes more power ! and HIGH CR too 10.1)
MAKE SURE CAMS ARE IN TIME AND VVT IS NOT sTUCK 50Degrees off.!
most PCM on DOHC are smart and cuts spark any time
CMP and CKP shows gross timing errors, to prevent the train wreck above. "my Jeep would through , Cam/crank incongruity errors. scanned, (a true blessing this PCM logic)
learn this about DOHC and make better tests and inspections
SCAN IT.
GOT THIS, learn to post engine you have first, so helpers need not guess,

• Petrol:
• 2.0 L 1AZ-FSE direct-injected I4

no country told at all, and some have no OBD2 until 2008 or 10
all 4 COPS dead? (coil over plugs) Spark coils?

in all cases
check fuses, and scan it.
and do the test correctly , 2 coil packs are not test like 4 packs. not at all.
The J20 engines
so what country?
ours use 4 coil packs in USA.
outside USA some use 2 PACKS (wasted spark packs)
we cant guess what's under your hood nor, what EFI system is there. ever.
so ill answer for the USA setup 4x cop coils
C.O.P, coil over plug, x4
check fuses first (ig-coil and FI fuse)
check that Check engine lamp glows key on, if not power (elect) lost to PCM/ECU. (fuses blown)
ours is OBD2 compliant so all scan tools made here work.
next, is scan it, while cranking and in every case it tells you why.
the CKP sensor (crank) is behind the flywheel, (yes, transmission pulled.
the CMP sensor (cam) is on the left rear of cam. DOHC J20 engine
do not fiddle CMP, or lose spark timing. (compounding issues)
if you are compelled to fiddle about, match mark it first with a center punch tool or scribe. some later j20 cars the timing freeze jumper is in the factory scan tool only and no on left strut DCL conn. (mark it first)

that is it.. just sold all my suz. they are DOA here."bugged-out"

now my quesitons.
all 4 spark plugs dead.?
or just 2 (2 pack engine)
if just 2, then is it wasted spark 2 coil pack system
then yes, ? then use 2 spark plugs at one time, to test.
not 1 ever.
ask. or tell , or show a photo of your engine, if you want exact answers,
hints, (yes i travel outside usa and see all this...)
wasted spark has actual, old school spark HV wires on top of engine
some J20 have just 2 wires. and other half are direct fire.

check your work again check All sensors are working measure each one with meter check against manufacturers specs, check coil check all joins and earths especially, check distributors reluctor sensor etc
are you sure you got cambelt on right? one didn't get it a tooth out? again check.

look into the coil pack id check wiring to the coil pack also

try the ignition control module in the distributor

Won't turn over? Do you mean the starter won't crank the engine over?

Or the engine cranks over and won't start, and you have tested for spark when cranking and have no spark? And then you have tested the coil and ignition module, and they tested out good? Am I on the right page here? If so, maybe the next thing to check would be the crank position sensor. The ecu (computer) signals the ignitor (ignition module) when to initiate spark after it digests the signals from the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor.

Have you ever replaced the timing belt?? If not the problem is likely to be a loose worn out timing belt. A floppy belt will play havoc with the sensor signals and trigger a check engine light and a camshaft sensor code.

i have a 2001 taurus 24valve dohc 3.0 engne i have a bad coil pack what steps do i need to do to change the coil pack
