I'm trying to get a car started that has set for a few years. Changed plugs, wires, fixed a few broken wires to some sensors, the usual stuff. I'm stuck on a no spark problem. I'm checking to see if I have spark at the coil and the first test was power with the ignition on but not cranking. I have power at one plug doing this. Other plug no power. Started cranking, still no power at the other plug. Checked for power after fusible link at the starter while cranking, I have power there. Ok, where am I losing the power? At the ignition switch on the column? I'm under the impression that for starting you get power from the starter and when it starts and you release the key you get power from that point to keep it running. Am I missing something here?

Change the crank position sensor on the back of the coil pack and make sure the ground to the coil packs and module is good. For some reason my grand am after being parked for a year in good shape had a bad cps.

Sorry bud, no DIS on this motor. This motor has a coil and a distributer. Decaprio has said I got this backward. I should check the modual first.
