1995 Pontiac Bonneville 3.8 mileage: 75,000. The car has an intermittent hard starting problem, particularly in hot weather. The engine cranks, however there is no spark. The dealer replaced the ECM, however the problem still occurs. The car will always start after sitting for about five minutes. Crank sensor magnets have been checked and were okay. On occasion the car has stalled while idling at a stoplight, however both times it immediately restarted.

Your car is equipped with a computer controlled engine management system. An independent auto service center can scan your computer for fault or error codes. The information should pinpoint the malfunctioning components. If after scanning the computer there are no fault codes, then the ignition module may be faulty.
