My car was running rough and was throwing a mass airflow sensor code. i replaced it and the MAP sensor. After i replaced them the car started and ran great for about a minute then shut off. It is getting fuel and air but no spark.
I've replaced the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and still have no spark. I don't know what it could be. I also swapped the ICM and coil packs with another car with a 3.8 and the other car ran great.

Hello,

Okay, this could be a problem with the electrical connector or the wiring going to the Crankshaft Position Sensor [CKP]. In the diagrams down below I have included the Power-train Management wiring diagrams for your vehicle with the CKP circuit highlighted for you. I have also included a guide on how to find unwanted resistance in an automotive electrical circuit with the voltage drop method. You will need to use a Digital Multi-meter [DMM] to implement these guides and here is a link to a guide explaining how to do that below:

Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you find.

Thanks,
