Absolutely no Spark. Potential problems?

[Wuss]

Hey guys, I printed out everything I found on the search, and trying to gather up as much info as I can, but any additional help would be appreciated.

I'm not getting any spark . I'm going to compile a list and just go through each damn possibility. Any ideas, solutions, advice?

no spark at all.

Do the coilpacks have voltage?Does the ignitor have voltage?

[ride4lame]

check to see if the ignitor chip is good. they tend to go bad i believe

[Wuss]

how do you test the ignitor chip to see if its faulty or not?

holdon, i'll post a link

Wuss, I had this problem too. Turns out I had a bad ignitor. Get a test light, turn the key to the on position, and test for current at both ends of the ignitor. Interestingly, a bad ignitor can have juice on the side the arrow on the ignitor is pointing toward but not the other. That's how I discovered my problem. I may have current at the coilpacks themselves even, but a bad ignitor (one of the three wires to the coilpack) will prohibit signal from being sent to the coilpack.. Check all the connectors for juice from the coilpack back, and make sure they all snug. Sounds to me its probably the ignitor chip though, as it is a very common problem.

A bad ecu will prevent spark as well.

yes. incorrect type of ECU could be the culprit too. verufy the part ECu type according to your engine and see if they are mismatched.
