Hey guys, wondering if you could lend an opinion. I just changed out me timing belt after some teeth had broken off and just put the car back together. Howeve, when I crank the car, the engine turns, but I get no spark..... NOTHING! I just hear the starter motor and the crank shaft turn (had someone veryify that there was movement) but no spark or ignition.... I am stumped. Are there any fuses or cail pack issues that would cause my car to recieve no spark??? I am just really confused and tired of trying to figure this out.

 

any ideas??

 

Did you test to make sure there is no spark?
Is the cell on, checked for codes?
Did you have to replace the CPS?

What year/engine is your car?

 

cam sensor creates the signal but what did you do to check for no spark

 

No I didnt check for no spark, but I just assumed since the engine would just not fir up. My Cam sensor shot a code P0343, So I checked it and assume my timing was off. I change the timing, now no code, but still no start either...Do you think my cam sensor could stop my engine from starting??? I am lost, dont know how to check if the sensor is bad. Guess I should check for spark too. What do ya think??

 

Well, I would. If you are/ are not getting spark, then that at least points us in the direction of the problem.

What year / engine?Since your belt skipped teeth, you are going to wantto make sure thecrank at the bottom is lined up, as well as the camshaft. There are markings for both. I am guessing from you posts that you already know this, but mentioning it just in case. It took me a few to make sure everything was lined up. I also replaced my CPS because Iwas getting a code for it, so I did it while I was in there just to be safe.

 

2000 1.8T. Yeah I know about lining them up, that was why I got the code in the first place (was 180 degress off) but now the code is gone... I'll check for spark in the morning and then see what happens

 

Cool, let us know what you find out.

 

CPS = cam pressure sensor or what

 

cps is camshaft position sensor
