Cranks normally wont start no spark

Hi Delberta, The links below are short youtube videos showing how to fix a car that cranks but doesn't start, In the 1st video this guy tests if it's fuel or electrical.......................................................

I don't know if you have a cranksharft OR camsharft position sensor so here's both... I hope this helps...CHEERS.........................
Crankshaft Position Sensor car not starting coil spark

Camshaft Position Sensor P0340 Testing and Replacement HD

This sounds like the crank shaft sensor is bad. The sensor sends a signal to the computer about when to fire the coils for spark.

I ran into this once when I changed a 2000 engine with a 2001 engine. The crankshaft gear for the timing belt was different. One had 2 ears for the crank angle sensor and one had 4. To check if this is the problem, pull all 4 sparkplugs, hook them to your plug wires, turn the engine over and see if you only have spark to 2 cylinders. If that's what you find then you will need to replace the crankshaft timing belt gear.
If that's not it, and you have spark to all 4 cyls., check your fuses. It could be a fuel pump fuse or ECM or an number of other fuses.
Good luck

did you check for voltage at the coil pack low tension input
this comes from the electronic ignition and the distributer dc setting on a multimeter

check inside the distributer that the little magnet is still in place on the rotor and that the sensor is outputing pulses as it turns over
{you can use a meter set to AC range for this ...}
pull a plug out and place its metal to ground check for actual sparks
if this is there then its fuel ...

Hi, it can be either of those or possibly a shorted condense or a bad crank sensor. First, I would check for battery voltage at the positive terminals of the coil when the key is on. If no voltage there, try disconnecting the condenser. If there is voltage, then check for AC voltage across the coil terminals while cranking the engine. If there is no AC voltage, the problem may be the crankshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position sensor is located next to the flywheel/torque converter. The computer is rarely the problem unless there was a short that caused undue current to flow.




Testing Crankshaft Position Sensor
2.4L Engine

1. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector. Connect an ohmmeter.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 2 and 3, on the crankshaft position side of the connector. Specification should be 0.486-0.594 kohm at 68 degrees F.
3. If measured value is not within specification, replace the sensor.

1. Be sure that the CKPS and PCM connectors are connected.
2. Engine ON and monitor the signal waveform of the sensor on the scan tool. Check whether the waveform is synchronized with the crankshaft position sensor or not.
3. If the waveform signal is normal, substitute with a known good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected replace the PCM.
4. If the waveform signal is not normal, substitute with a known good CMPS sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected replace the CMPS.

2.5L Engines

1. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector. Connect an ohmmeter.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals 2 and 3, on the crankshaft position side of the connector. Specification should be 0.486-0.594 kohm at 68 degrees F.
3. If measured value is not within specification, replace the sensor.

Have you checked the cam sensor or distributor?

First off check and verify you have sufficient fuel pressure with a fuel gauge if the fuel pressure is good next verify you have spark remove one of the sparkplugs and instert a spark tester into the sparkplug wire and crank the engine around and observe that there is spark, if theres spark remove all spark plugs and perform a compression test the compression should be no lower then 180 PSI for that engine, next if theres no spark unplug the 4 wire connector from the coil pack and with an ohm meter ohm across the purple and yellow wire the resistance of the crankshaft position sensor should be between 700 and 900 OHMs if its not replace the crankshaft posistion sensor its located behind the engine in back of the starter, if you dont have fuel pressure check the fuel pump relay and fuse, if they both are okay then the pump is probably bad and you will have to drop the gas tank to access the pump.

If it turns over fine, check the crankshaft position sensor, and wiring. I have had two no sparks after swapping engines, and it was the crankshaft position sensor.

It sounds like this could be a common problem - usually this is caused by the crank sensor going out/bad. The sensor is mounted to the timing cover on the front of the engine.
The crankshaft sensor provides both engine speed and crankshaft position signals to the ECM. The sensor is a variable reluctance device, consisting of a bobbin coil with a magnetic core. The resistance of the coil is approximately 1.35 kilo ohms . The steel teeth on the crankshaft timing ring are used as a rotor. As the rotor teeth pass by the crankshaft sensor, pulses are generated.

The rotor has 60 tooth positions set at 6° intervals with three teeth missing. The gaps identify the TDC position of the 6 cylinders during one complete engine cycle (two crankshaft revolutions). The rotor thus provides both engine speed and crankshaft position information to the ECM. The missing pulses identify crankshaft position. Each tooth pulse after the missing pulse represents 6° of crankshaft rotation. Thus the frequency of the toothed pulses are a measure of engine speed.

it is the crankshaft sensor try that and i bet youll get it
