No spark or fuel after changing intake gasket
No spark or fuel after changing intake gasket
My issue is no spark or fuel. I have tried and replaced everything I know to do. New ICM, Relay, distributor. I checked my Vats and my keys resistance is still registering. I checked the power at the back of the ICM. At first I had a flickering power reading of 2.6v on only 1 of the prongs on the two prong plug on the ICM. I added more grounds to the engine which gave me power at the ICM plugs. I now have 12v and 2.6v steady. However when I crank the car the 2.6 volts goes away and it shows no power.
Is that normal? If so what else should i try? If not what may be the cause.

Re: No spark or fuel after changing intake gasket
Welcome to TGO, it would be helpful to know what car and year your car is what engine/trans you have, it could possible help narrow down some issues.
Engine turns over with the key?
Assuming it's fuel injected, do you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key?
Got spark going to the distributor cap from the coil or no spark coming from the coil?
That 20 amp fuse near the battery, did you visually inspect the fuse? If so check its continuity to be sure it's a good fuse.
No power to the ECM no ignition.

fuse is good, but even if bad how would that kill the spark?
