1987 Olds 98 Regency won't start

[misner18]

Hi Everyone! What problem I have is my 98 olds wont start. I changed the coil packs, starter, fuel relay switch, and the battery and still a no go. The fuel pump is working good. And the strangest thing is its getting spark and gas. It also acts like it want to start. By that I mean it turns over like any normal car but wont start. There is a 1/2 inch long crack in the inginition control module but Auto Zone told me it was still good. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated!!!

Welcome to AF, I wouldn't trust the icm test, do you have strong blue spark at the plugs, will it start spraying carb cleaner into the intake?

It has good blue spark. I tried spraying starting fluid and it still wouldn't start.

If you have good spark as you say, try disconnecting the maf and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem with my 89 and have checked the spark plugs fuel and that, but what is a maf?
