Can't get car to start, tried most all the usual suspects...
Hey guys, I figured I would try in here and see if anyone had any ideas what is going on with my car.
On the way back from the nationals sunday my car is cruising along for about 30 minutes and just up and dies. No warning, just quits. I checked all the usual stuff, fuses, etc. I can hear the pump run when I turn the key on, I have tried so far:
dist module
ESC module
coil
coil wire
ECM
fuses
rewiring ecm power feed line
rotor
memcal
kicking it
Anyone have any ideas? Like I said, I can hear the pump run, the engine rolls over easy, just no startup. Is there a way of seeing wether the injectors pulse when trying to start? i was guessing that it would get +12v across the terminals intermittently, but no good. Also, there is NO spark coming from the coil when trying to start, either.

you SHOULD have spark when the engine is turning over... FROM the coil, to the distrubutor... that is a MUST... if you have no spark from the coil... how will combustion start (therefore starting the engine)... (not to sound rude... I appoligize)... also to check the injectors... turn the engine for a while and if gas is being injected, when the valves open and close the gas will be pushed out and you will be able to smell RAW gasoline from the tail pipe
Good Luck
