Trouble Shooting tips needed NO SPARK (Page 4/4)

Without a scantool it is hard to know what is going on with the engine.

But let's try the easy stuff first.

First shot in the dark: perhaps you have a few leaky injectors and the engine is getting fuel flooded. So, hold the throttle wide open and crank it to see if it starts.

Second shot: You replaced some spark plug wires and got the firing order wrong and forgot that you had done it. Check the firing order.

Slightly more complicated stuff.
First shot: The rotor on the opti rotated and now it's firing in the wrong order. Time to remove and inspect it.

Second shot: Problem with one or more sensors (MAF sensor or Air intake and, or ECT temp sensors, cam position, etc).

If you don't want to go round and round chasing guesses, my suggestion would be to take it to a mechanic, or invest in the tools needed to work on it yourself.

Edit to add: this is assuming there is nothing mechanically wrong with engine (broken camshaft, etc.).

After weeks of no crank; Yesterday when I needed it the most to start. WOT and a long crank seemed to do it.

I am so happy she starting again.

Thank you all for the support.
