HELP: No Spark!
« on: January 10, 2007, 11:09:51 AM »
My car sat for about a month and a half, but wouldnt' start.  Thought it was just a weak/bad battery, so I replaced it.  

I have since flooded the engine and fouled the plugs.  :(  

Car has power, starter is turning over and it's obviously getting fuel, but I'm not getting spark for some reason and car will not start.

What things do I need to look for???   Easiest to most difficult, where should I check first, etc...  

Any help greatly appreciated.

Measure the coils. Do you have the bentley manual or do you want me to email the pages concerning this problem?

search is your friend, there was a recent topic covering this. it shouldn't be coils if your getting no spark to all cylinders, all the coils wouldn't fail at once. i'm leaning towards a sensor, bad wires, or so.
