I knw ur not suppose to use starter fluid on fuel injection but i did today to test the fuel delivery as u r suggesting and the car still did not attempt to start so i dnt think its a fuel problem as it shuld hve at least tried to start and die again with the starter fluid....it has no spark so im asking wht wuld cause the symptoms i explained to come n go then stay for good,,,culd it b the ignition module
You use the starting fluid and didn't combust at all-very obvious you don't have spark-start checking the ignition system
Ive been saying to u tht i hve no spark in every msg....i already knw this thts why im asking u culd it b my ignition module or somthing else in the ignition system....im just asking for advice on wheres the best place to start as i work on cars all the time im just not real familiar with pontiac....the ignition module is my first guess to chk but wuld like ur opinion
Good place to start is at the crankshaft positioning sensor-To check the ICM you need a special tester
