no spark, need dignosis
I have a 2000 Z28 that wont start. It turns over fine but will not fire. It's getting plenty of fuel but no spark. Cam sensor maybe? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Nothing done to the car yet. It's in the garage waiting on spring. I went over to start it and it cranks like a **** but wont start. It has fuel pressure at the rail. Checked spark with a screwdriver in one of the plug boots and got nothing. WTF

might be the VATS system (that little resistor in on the key), try a different set of keys. i'm not sure if VATS cuts off the spark or it doesnt let the motor turn over or not. also, take a sparkplug out (# 3 cylinder or easier), and plug it into the boot, then use that to check for spark (ground the threads on the head of course). you might not be getting spark w/ the screwdriver because you arent holding it the right distance away from what your sparking on or somthing, this way you can be sure. check the fuses/relays under the hood and report back to us, we'll have her goin in no time
