No spark or injector pulse, have plenty of gas pressure. Replaced crank shaft sensor still no start. But cranks. Check engine light does not go out while cranking. Also replaced coil packs.

Good morning,

This sounds like the fuel pump has gone out, when you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Please run down this guide and report back.

Do you have power to the injectors? check for battery voltage to the injectors.

Do you have power to the ignition coil positive side? Check for battery voltage there as well.

Okay, are the injectors working? You need a noid light to verify the PCM is grounding the injectors and commanding them to send fuel.

Does it have spark?
