1998 Saturn SL not sparking and not starting

Do you have spark? Do you have correct fuel pressure? Compression?

Are you saying the engine will not crank, or not start ?
If you think two of the cylinders are not getting spark, something may have happened to the coil pack or the crank-cam sensors.
If all 4 plug wires are getting spark, two of them may be on the wrong cylinders. The firing order is not always the same as the plug wire layout.

check the spark

have you refitted the crank sensor??

Spray ether into the air intake and see if it still takes 5 or 6 cranks...if it starts immediately, it is fuel related, perhaps fuel presure regulator is bad. If the ether doesn't change anything...it is most likely a cam sensor...good luck!

Try checking your crank sensor or spark plugs.

try checking your alternator, charge the batt and then try starting car if the car starts pull off your batt terminals and if car does stall out then 9 out of 10 the alternator is shot, if it doesn't then get a ac/dc tester then put it to the post on the alternator and if it is not putting out 13.8 or 14.o then you have to try to find a short, a bad wire, or a bad ground and if you cant find one then pull it out and bring it to a aoutozone or a advanced outo and have them bench test it.

Check the cam/crank sensors. Also, if the car happens to have a distributor, make sure it is not 180 degrees off. If this does not help, then do a compression check. Remember, and engine only needs three things to run. Fuel, Spark, and Compression. (in order of course.) The firing order for your engine is 1,4,3,2.

to unflood your engine you can just leave it alone overnight or take out the spark plugs and dry them off yourself but be sure to label your wires. if it is fuel injected you dont need to push the gas pedal to start it. as far as it not starting it could be its either not getting a spark or not getting any fuel you can check for a spark with a spark tester found at auto parts stores and to check for fuel they have a tester for that as well which if faulty will lead to fuel filter and or pump replacement if no spark then it could be the coil or plugs

I would check the cold start valve. It is also known as the fifth injector. It injects a small amount of fuel only during cold weather. Also might be called an enrichment valve. The same a s a choke on carb. models.
