My 1992 Bonneville will turnover but wont fire. The carr has 205,000 miles but has been running great. Parnelli Jones was the origional ower so I would like to keep it around awhile. I recently replaced the Fuel pump and filter because the pressure was low. Next I checked for spark and got nothing so I went for the ignition coil and replaced the module but still no help. I also checked all the fuses and codes in the ECM and they all checked out. Next I suspect the cam or crank sensor but am reluctant since nothing was logged in the ECM. Any suggestions for a perplexed rookie?

I am not sure but that 3.8 engine had a penchant for having a bad crank sensor. it is behind the crankshaft damper. The damper and the sensor both come of easy.
