Hi there,

I'm new here and have been doing some searching. but need the collective's help.

My sister parked her 99 Sebring convertible Friday night and it wouldn't start Saturday morning. Here's what I've found:

The car will prime the fuel pump with the key on
There are no codes shown on the dash with the key on
There is no spark with a plug grounded to the manifold plenum while cranking
There is continuity between pin 11 on the ECM and pin 1 on the 6 pin connector to the distributor
There is continuity between ground and pin 2 on the 6 pin connector
The cap has continuity and there is 5K ohms between the button and the coil tower terminal


Now where it gets weird:

On the two pin connector to the distributor, I have 15K ohms on the secondary side(coil tower to the pin in the connector
The primary side shows a break, with no continuity and infinitew resistance on the meter

I bought and returned a reman distributor from Kragen that tested the same as the one I removed. Thinking that I got a bad distributor from there, I checked their other one in stock and it read the same as the original and the replacement I bought.


What can cause this thing to have no spark? I purchased a crankshaft position sensor to replace, but have yet to find it on the engine.


Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Crank sensor is almost directly below the distributor bolted to the transmission.

I found the crankshaft position sensor and pulled it. When I compared it to the new one on the meter, it was obvious the old one was bad. I swapped in the new one and it fired right up. Thanks for the resources guys.

Only thing now is there's a ticking noise coming from the valley. When it started, the revs climbed to ~2300rpm. Maybe it was a little dry from sitting and a lifter/follower didn't like it.
