Spark problem

Hey hows it going i am new to this Forum and i was wondering if any one could help me out i have a oldsmobile 1989 delta 88 and i bought it for $900 and i just replaced the spark plugs, spark wires, ignition module, coil pack, and i just bought a crankshaft sensor and it still isn't getting a spark im not to sure i put the crankshaft sensor in right the old one was hard to get out and when i pulled it out the magnetic things on their were all bent up and it was missing the black piece that goes over it. The new one is hooked up but just sitting there could someone please tell me if they had similair problems and if so what they did

thanks, Mike

Can you get your car into the "accessories" mode to at least get some trouble codes? If you had to replace your cam sensor you would have gotten a code 41....and if your old cam sensor had broken/missing parts then you will probably have to fish in your oil pan for those parts (in other words, drain oil, remove, take out parts, put in new gasket, replace)

As far as no spark goes....hmmm.....that is hard. Is your engine turning over at all? Or does it just crank and not catch? Trouble codes man, trouble codes....

got spark no start

I finally got the crankshaft sensor on and replaces the cam sensor and i was still getting no spark so i went to a junk yard and got a computer for $20 and that was the problem so now im getting spark and it still isn't starting just turning over. So i check the valve for fuel and its getting no fuel so tomorrow im going to check the circuits by the fuel pump and hopefully its just that but if not i have to replace the fuel pump

You can try to bypass the computer and test the fuel pump by connecting a wire from the positive terminal on the battery and the top left terminal on the aldl located under the dash. If it fires with the key on, then you should check the fuel pump relay. Also, did you swap the prom's out in the computer? the computer might work in your car, but you should use the original chip from the car not the one you got from the junkyard.
