car wont start, no spark
Car began stumbling under acceleration yesterday morning, and died a few times while rolling up to a stop. Got it back home and let it idle for a while. Still would break up while revving. No codes set my PCM. Unplugged MAF, no change. Turned the car off and did other things. Went to start it up a few hours later and no go. Cranks fine, has fuel pressure at the rail, but no hint of wanting to start. Pulled a plug and laid it on alt. bracket, no spark while cranking. Checked all fuses, disconnected and reconnected batt., still no spark.
So now I've got it up in the air, fenders back off and am looking at the extended harnesses to the coil packs. They look fine, no obv. burnt or melted wires, and they ohm out fine. So I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to check next. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Did you retain the factory coil-pack harness plug when you did the extensions? Maybe check to insure they're fully seated?
It seems that you've covered all the obvious things... I'm not sure what else could cause a no spark condition since the car is trying to crank and you have fuel etc. Could it be security related? I.E. the vats or anti-theft system?

I was supposed to be leaving for Indianapolis tomorrow for a car get-together. I guess I should feel lucky that whatever failed failed here and not 600 miles away.

Uplug the MAF and try to start it up. If it runs, then you may need a new MAF. I found a similar problem that someone had with an LS1. Same thing, no spark, but everything else checked out. It's worth a shot, good luck.
Edit: I should read more closely, and not scan through! Last edited by DropTheTop; 05-11-2010 at 11:08am. Reason: I'm an idiot |

The 3 common things that would affect ALL coil packs (both banks) are...
PCM fuse #16 underhood (10a). Ground G106 (located near the starter I believe) and G107 (ring terminal on rear of left head) Ignition relay 42 (this failing to close should produce a code though). Fuses #22 (15a - coils bank 1) and #18 (15a - coils bank 2) also worth checking, but both would have to be out to affect both banks. |

Glad you got it going.
AT&SB suggested it 1st, so I can't take credit for this one, other than offering more detailed clues. This particular issue is semi-common to read about following a head swap project, but to happen out of the blue, not so much. As you've learned, that little ground point is quite vital though - lacking it shuts down both the coils and injectors. |
