ive done the xe conversion. gone to fire her up. wont start. turned her over with fuel nipple pushed in. fuel pors out. taken spark plugs out one at a time and tested them for spark. no spark to any. here is a 12v supply to the coil pack. any one got any ideas.
i have checked resisstance of all he earths, all ok. can the camshaft sensor stop the engine from starting wthout stoppig fuel supply.

will i need a analog volt meter to test for a pulse. i have checked the timming markers, all lined up correctly. i will try compression test, but would that cause there not to be a spark. paper clip tested it. came up clear.
oh and chris the loom turned out to be off a calibra on a 94 had to get the motronic 2.8 ecu

dont know. but i have a 12v supply going to the sensors and the coil. will go to the scrappers today and see if i can get a coil. think 2.0 frontera and some cavs share same coil. and see how much a analoge volt meter is to test for a pulse voltage from crank sensor.

Is the battery fully charged? If you've been turning it over a lot could have discharged it enough to lose the spark. I've had exactly same problem when testing a engine.
