Re: 90' Sunbird NO SPARK

This engine doesn't use a crank sensor to signal spark timing. Inside the distributor cap is the ignition module and pick-up coil. The pick-up magnetically senses the position of the "rotating" camshaft and sends its reading directly to the module. It's the ignition module that controls the firing of the ignition coil and also sends its timing signal from the pick-up to the ECM (electronic control module inside the car) which then fires the fuel injectors.

First things first. All the fuses are good so next check to make sure the camshaft is rotating. Post back what you find and I'm sure others here will also chime in to help.

OOPS!!! I never looked at the POST DATE! lol
