1999 Grand Prix has spark but won't start.

[KarenLC]

I have a 1999 Grand Prix that will not start but it has spark. I was told that it will be the crankshaft sensor but I also was told that it could be an ignition control module.

Help! Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Welcome to AF!!

If the car has spark then I doubt that the CPS is bad. You need to make sure that the car has fuel too. If the fuel pump has gone bad then the car will not start. A simple way to check is to locate the schrader valve on the fuel rail and press it. If fuel squirts out then the fuel pump is working. Another way is to remove the hose that connects to the throttle body from the air cleaner and spray some starting fluid into the throttle body while cranking the engine. If it starts then the fuel pump is the issue and will probably will need to be replaced. If it does not start then issue could be timing or the PCM. Try this and post again.

PS I am assuming that you do not have a Check Engine Light turned on!
