THE CARS VIN 8TH DIGIT TELL WHAT ENGINE IS THERE, so which one is it.?
check all fuses first, as in all (cab and bay boxes)
and battery must be charged and good first. and kept charged for this service and testing.
no spark on just one cylinder or all ,(no engine told of 2)???????
the service manual covers all that.
so starter does crank the engine fast?and robustly? not slow as slug.
1.9 L, SOHC, SINGLE CAM
1.9l DOHC TWIN CAM ENGINE
2.0l
3.0L ? V6?
THEY ARE not THE SAME AT ALL , FOR EFI OR SPARK
BUT Both engines run a pair of twin coil packs
rule1:
the 2 HV lugs on each pack both must be wired to the correct spark plug !!!
or firing order is noW dead wrong and fails. called wasted spark.
rule2
2nd rules is it those old 24 year old wires sets (junk) if one fails open, that makes 2 spark plugs go dead and bingo it will never start as 2 cylinder engine ever. never ever run 24 year wire sets, of fail you will !!!
go NGK mag-wire sets in fact. best.
rule 3: wasted spark
to test spark never pull 2 HV wires on one coil pack . test HV wires 1 by 1 using clean new test spark plug.
yes 2 can be tested at the same time but lets skip how now, do thme 1 at a time
spark tests. do not skip any.
scan the PCM yet for DTC errors, be big shame to miss out ,omg the PCM sees CMP or CKP dead. cam or crank sensors errors or coil pack errors.
Id have new spark wires installed this old. 24 years.
and now rule #4 wasted spark
do not pull off all wires to it replacing the pack
do so 1 wire off old pack on back on to the same exact lug. on new pack
or , firing order is lost.
for the 1.9L (wild guessing me the engine)
if you get it all messes up the cure is here
4 and 1 fire same time
2 and 3 fire same time, paired.
