Default No spark... help!

Ok so i'm not getting any spark....

Did the ol' screw driver in the coil trick and i'm not getting any spark....


What are some things to check for?

I was having issues with my turbo setup running...

So I tried putting the stock injectors, map, ecu back in to see if that starts.....

Cam timing or check the ground behind the head.

Stock PCM cars will not run with a camshaft out of time.

The only way your gonna get a clear pic is to remove the head or trans. You can barely see the ground bolt when the engine is in the car.

This might sound stupid but start where you know you have swapped something out.. It could be possible that you cut into an injector clip wire and are having a short to ground because of it.. I had this happen once. Any short to ground can possibly prevent you from having ignition.

I changed out the whole engine harness to eliminate the possiblity of this.

If you don't have spark and have access to a scanner first check for codes and if you don't have codes check the data display while cranking the engine you should see RPM signal if no signal check your crankshaft sensor that sends the signal to the PCM to trigger the coils and the camshaft sensor is used by the PCM to syncronize the injectors after checking all the grounds and connectors that should be you next step
