My car has spark for two seconds or so. then nothing. if you turn the key all the way off agian it will will spark for a couple secs again then stops.Is there any sensor besides my AFM that will cause this to happen ? I have no ideas left. I have replaced the CAS, AFM, and ECU running low on thoughts as to what could be wrong.

If you really want the car to happen without spending too much, get a used 1st gen ignition system. Dizzy, wires, coils. All you need is 12v and a relay, and you will have ignition that won't fail.



I wish I could tell you why there's no ignition, but something is causing the computer to say shut-down-engine (cutting ignition).



Where did your old thread go?

also i checked to see if my coils were loosing power, the black yellow wire stays hot, so why the loss of spark ? this seems like it should not happen.

Did you look into the low oil level switch thing or no?



if the level sender is faulty it might be telling the motor to shut down









I posted that in your old thread
