Gmc Safari Van 96
GA_googleFillSlot("Forums_ROS_300x250_noad");var tcdacmd="sa=a;sz=3;ad";
Please help,
190,000 miles, driving fine at 70 mph just died, no codes on computer,
installed new fuel pump, still no start. Have some spark don't know if
its when its supposed to. Sprayed ether no start, gave a little gas thru
the intake no start. Get a little like its trying on initial cranking of engine
but only like a single cylinder firing once, about every third or fourth try.
Any advice would be helpful.
Giving to a kid for his first car, if we can get it running again.
Thanks Steve

I'd be looking at the ignition module or coil, possible crank sensor. Scan it and see if you have cranking rpms. " Some " spark is not where you need to be.

Sounds like a classic ignition coil failure to me, too...albeit bad time to happen. May also be broken cap or rotor contacts.
