98 Escort ZX2 4 cyl automatic tranny
Daughter in law just bought the car, already had to put a fuel pump and alternator on it. Alternator was overcharging.
Today car would not start. Cranked over fine, I put a little gas in the throttle body and no go, so I got a plug wire and plug, put it on the coil pack and grounded the plug to the engine and no spark. I verified that the plug and wire I used to test worked on another vehicle, so it seems the car isn't getting spark for some reason.
I tried to unhook the neg battery terminal hoping that it was a stuck relay or something simple but no luck.
No warning lights are lit up.
Any suggestions as to where I should go from here? I hate the idea of throwing parts at it hoping to find the right one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
