Crank No Start/No Spark

Thinking if the spark plug wires are old, or could be the ignition control module.

Cooler line? trans? heater hose? radiator hose? Where is it located?

Rowefast my vehicle doesn't have an ignition control module. Guy I replaced the line that run from the transmission to the radiator. and my engine get wet and a couple days later all this started happening such as my car stalling and firing back up then it finally died and never came back on

Is it the 12 or 24 valve engine? Yes it does have an ignition control module (its integral to the pcm) and depending on where the water is it may be exposed to the elements. Also, are the motor mounts ok and in good condition? Lastly is or has the engine light on and if so do you know what the diagnostic code-'s are? Not to be trite but this is what I do for my day job and are the things that I ask myself about every car that I get the opportunity to work on.

Its a 16ohv. The mounts looks good and it had codes it was the o2's well once I took the battery out to get to the cam sensor the codes cleared. What I really want to do is rule out the PCM but I'm worried it might be that. I hope not

O2 codes? Do remember the numbers of the codes? When you replaced the crank sensor was there oil in its plug? I was thinking that the crank sensor may have oil in it's connector and not getting a crank signal which is common to your vehicle. lets get to basics. fuel, fire, air. What method are you using to check for fire? Will it run while spraying ether into the throttle body? Are there any restrictions in the air inlet? You can remove the air cleaner/intake tube and meter as an assembly to run the car while testing without damaging anything, I recommend it for working on these cars.

OK guy I'm kind of convinced now I'm going to go ahead and replace the PCM.

No I didn't removed the stator didn't want to mess up the timing and the can sensor didn't look bad at all. Yes I still have the old one

Hey Guy check this out this is everything I done REPLACED: CRANK SENSOR COIL CAM SENSOR TEST: KEY FUSES IGNITION FUEL PRESSURE SPARK PLUG WIRES

I was looking on YouTube and someone had this problem the crank no spark and it was the Coolant temperature sensor. Which I found STRANGE

The Coolant Temperature Sensor can be the heart of all evil. This along with the 02 sensor tells the PCM how to adjust all the other sensors. They can go bad and you'd not even know it without testing it. But normally it has nothin to do with the spark. And yes, that pcm would require reprogramming to your vehicles specs. Can't just throw it in, there is a procedure to be followed. Now I am not suggesting anything here, just adding 2¢. Guy has a good handle on this...

Yes, anything that has a signal return to the pcm is capable of shutting down the pcm and not allowing it to startup thus no fuel or spark. There would also be another sign associated with this issue, in most cases when checking codes there would be a failure to communicate message and no check engine light prove out. Sensors that have a signal return are ones that show the pcm a variable voltage signal and have more than 3 wires usually like the tps, dpfe, ect, o2s, fuel tank pressure, maf, cam pos. If any of these are faulty sensors they could short the signal return ckt and shut it down, if it is a sensor they can be unplugged 1 after the other until it has communication and runs. That is if it has a bad pcm controlled sensor.

Ok Guy I'm back its the PCM no spark and the injectors are shut down also. So I went to my local Salvage Yard got a PCM out of the same year, make, and model. Should it be plug and play or would I need my local locksmith to program key to communicate with the PCM. Or would I need to tow to my local Ford Dealership

okay it's a 1990 Ford Taurus no spark it cranks over but won't start can anyone give me an input on what you think it might be I've tried so many things

I suggest “flagship one website”, if you are to purchase a pcm, if you purchase one with the keys it come flashed, programmed and with keys! No need to take it anywhere! The company flashes it to your VIN! Just my suggestion

Rowefast&Guy I am having the same issue as Woo1205 with my 2002 mercury sable 24v dohc and when i go to start the car i see no,no ,no rpm movement on dash,I've watched every you tube video possible,being a 3yr beginner with automotive repair,i think i hit a wall with this mercury sable. New placement parts ignition coil pack/wires/plugs/battery/fuel pump/relays/fuses/ckps,/downstream o2/ Diagnostics tests fuel pressure 35-40psi/relays power and groundside/ fuses inside car ok/ckps ohms test and signal good/power to fuel pump_good/starter removed and test @2 shops_ alternator/PATS no flasing anti=theft light blinking fast,just normal.scan the vehicle for codes nothing,no codes,no codes. i have not perform the following injector pulse,and compression test.if anyone can give me any possible causes that will cause a no start condition i truly appreciate.#Temp sensor could do this idk?

I dont have an anwser mine is doing the same but unfortunately before car dies out I can put my foot on the accelerator and it wont die out but a constant highway speed or I've put on cruise control if I'm on the street it will die out and low voltage and engine light come on before car engine stops. If I can get it restarted it's like it does a reset with the battery the codes are gone and in that mode before I get it started a diagnostic machine says data error fuel temp gauge a emmiss

I also did a relearning reset that actually worked a total of 5 to 7 times then stopped working. Sitting in driver seat key in on position open driver door for 10 mins put key in off position close door and start her up no lie it worked idk how or why because I've been told it's not an anti theft issue because I have no rapidly light blinking it blinks as it should in standby mode. Still steadily blinking when turning the key in start position that's not suppose to happen last thing when driving and it wants to give out theft light blinks and comes on car jerks wants to stop that when I punch it or again cruise control if streets or in traffic gives out low voltage charging system data error and gas milage all error. Lights dont dim but engine slows then cuts off all gauges go to zero and says low fuel when I have it but only says all this on display before it gives out. Right before display is working and calculating fine. Two months prior code p0430 came on and off 3 times but went off on it's in after adding s emission CV cleaner to the system when getting gas 50 mileage later light was off. 1
