No distributor cap on this car. That is why he has coil packs.

No spark on start is most likely a problem with the ignition module, not the ECM the ECM does not provide spark until you are above 400 RPM.

NakedDancer-Please be careful to only give advise when you have good info. This person is most likely going to waste time because of bad advise. I am sure this was the problem on a car you or one of your friends had, but this is much less common than the module due to the heat and vibration under the hood.

The Ignition Module is located under the coil packs. Take it to Auto Zone and they will test it for free. Good Luck.
