    Is the Check Engine/ Service Engine Soon Light on? If so the computer in your car is going to have relevant information stored in its memory which will help figure out what is going on. A scan tool is needed to retrieve this information. A professional grade scan tool allows key engine sensor data to be analyzed right off the scan tool without having to do intrusive testing at each sensor. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online

    We have had a scan ran several times on this car. The check engine light is not coming on. The scan is showing nothing wrong with the car. Since then we have replaced alternator, battery, (which tested bad). Replaced ignition switch per another suggestion. Several relays to be on the safe side. Any more suggestions. The car is not throwing a code. Now it is not getting spark again. We have replaced distributor, crank, complete tune up, coil pack. According to the specs on this car is your crank, goes bad you have to replace the whole package. Have also replaced fuel pump, and filters. We are currently thinking maybe an electrical problem. What do you think.
