I Need a little advice. Engine or Electrical HELP PLEAse.
Last time i wrote on this Site i said my alternator went, well i changed that and The battery is full power. Now the car won't Start. I checked the Ignition fuse, its Good. Fuel pump works. Also new Starter. I Changed both Coil packs. Still no spark. We hooked up one of those things that reads the cars computer and it came back with nothing. I heard it could be the Timing belt or Oc sensor or a couple of other things i forgot already. I have called every person i could think of about this. Please let me know what you think it might be.

Did you cut out any access wiring prior to the car not running?

This may sound silly but i have all the wires in my car. they are bound together with a zip tie. none of the wires are cliped or anything.

if there is absolutely no spark then I wouldnt worry about the timing right know. There are only so many things it could possibly be if there is no fire I would check all of the grounding points first. I had a big problem with coils on my sunfire test them as well if no luck. I will dig up the chiltons here and get back with you if you dont figure it out today

Hey guys thanks for the help. We are thinking it is the ignition coil/Control Module-Ignition. 35 bucks for used, 174 dollars brand new. i will find out if thats the problem Wednesday.

Amp I would suggest getting spares. Like I said before I replaced the coils many times. to much to count. also keep the terminals spotless as well. in a junk yard the 4 cyl S10, cavalier, sunfire, beretta, all 4 cyl 2.2 and I am sure others all used the same coils. I just went to the yard for all of mine last year. For the price of new you can get quite a few used ones. I would lean more toward quanity than quality. I can think of numerous others that have had this same issue. When I sold my sunfire I gave them the one installed along with 2 more and told the always keep one with with the car at all times

Yo man i have the worst luck EVER! i got the Wrong module. AGH! . my battery aGH! keeps dying only because i can't get my car to turn over. also i have 4 coil packs now. the damn thing that those mount to is the wrong.it has 3 clips on it, my old ignition has only 2 clips for hook ups.i'm gonna get the right one tomorrow.

People keep telling me they dont like the sound of the motor when it cranks. They say it sounds like the flywheel is messed up. I also have no clue where some Computer that my car has is located.?. im sure i forgot some other problems lol. peace
