hey guys, i am soo pissed cause my car has been in the shop for 1 week . and nothing. everytime i freaking call "were working on it " blah blah
anyways
the car one day decided not to start, it cranks and i hear the fuel pump when i take the keyout. there is no spark, checked ignition module and its fine, replaced the coils on top of the module and still nothing. the shop said they have no communications witht he computer.
ahhhh. now i gotta tow it someplace else @!#$iit
check your crank position sensor! mine was doing the same thing and it was the sensor.
the mechanic said he checked the sensor.. unless hes bs'ing me.. he told me he bought a new one and nothing..
oh and Autozone hooked my coil module to their machine. and it passed all the tests..
but the mechanic is testing it with a volt meter and hes getting nothing apperantly on the secondary plug

If he is testing the coil primary and secondary with a voltmeter he is a moron. You check the primary and secondry with an OHM meter not a voltmeter.
- 2004 Cavalier - 124k, owned since new
my bad i think he was using the OHM setting on the voltmeter.
I'm betting it was a MULTI-METER ! Geez! ( rolls eyes )
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
yeah multimeter.. it had it all in one
anyways, i am towing the car back to my place today .. i need to get a pcm. to test it.
i seen he had a metal box out from the front of the car, was that the PCM? i thought the pcm was under the glovebox area.. on 95 cav 2.2
Nope thats your PCM.

k got a new Computer, and still it wont start.
i checked so far, ignition module, coils, crank shaft sensor, and computer.
with the new computer i do smell FUEL, so fuel is coming in now.. but still no spark..
What you are describing is typical of the crank sensor, which takes the place of a distributor. When they go bad they usually stop working altogher. It won't have rough idle/performance but just stop working altogether and hence no spark. The adjustment is critical too as I had a friend have her's replaced at a local garage and the car stopped running a couple days later. After the Chevy dealer adjusted it she had no more problems.
hmmm.the shop told me they tested the crank sensor.. but i dunno anymore..
If they are testing it with the alleged multimeter, run.
