No Spark! Hey I just bought a '98 trans am convertible 2 days ago and it ran great until last night. Last night I shut off my car to go in the store and when I come back out, no start.. The engine turns over just fine, not weak or anything, no sputtering, it just wont start. After about 10 minutes of removing fuses n relays I shut the hood and goto start it n it starts up.
The next morning, I go to try starting it again and the same deal happens. Took about 20 minutes this time, just trying to start it every now n then.
When the car does start and run, it runs great!
I checked the fuel pressure and it was around 52psi so it is getting pressure. I checked the spark plug and NO SPARK!
What could be causing this problem? I was thinking maybe the crankshaft sensor? The computer isn't throwing any codes, how would I go about diagnosing this problem?
