(crank angle sensor) Have tested to make sure engine is getting gas = passmade usre spark plugs are getting spark = passedwent to replace distributor cap and rotar now it wont start. Made sure Im at TDC and not exhaust TDC. Lined everything up but wont start, it will turn over. Its my daily driver and cant make it to work till i get it started. Was told to replace the distributor but with all the tests I've done I think its still getting spark. any help would be very helpfull. I have the ka24de engine and yes I have cleaned/inspected connection. Going to try the ground and power wires 2marrow, will post again after that. Thanks again to anyone helping out.

Crank it and put the sprkplug wire onto the valve cover....see if you get a spark....Or better yet, get a plug light.

well, i replaced the distributor, double checked all the grounds i.e. broke them free and cleaned them.

CODE 11 is crank angle sensor, all I had to do was replace distributor. Crank angle sensor is inside the distributor, and you cant just replace the crank angle sensor. Hope this helps you out if you get code 11.
