My 2000 explorer ran fine yesterday and I parked in my garage. The next day it would not start. It has fuel but no spark. I have tested the coil with an ohm meter and it seems to be ok on the primary and and secondaries. What else can kill the spark besides the coil and crankshaft position sensor. I did test the sensor and I have a AC volt fluctuation when the engine is turning over. Thanks for any help.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Thank you very much for the reply. Turned out to be the crankshaft position sensor was intermittent.
