I have replaced the distributor rotor cap and ICM, spark plugs and crank sensor, but still no spark to the spark plugs. Can someone help me?

First scan for codes if you can then check black/yellow wire at coil to see if power. It may be ignition control module or the fi relay on kick panel. Check all fuses as well under hood and in car.

Hi DILLON,

HMAC300 suggested scanning for codes in his post. If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself as here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.
