So, my husband recently acquired a 93 grand prix. When he got it, the guy said he thought it just needed new coils, because it was running, then quit. They hadnt tried starting it from that point. When my husband got it, it fired right up, ran for about 4 blocks and then died. Hasnt started since.

Ive searched here, and so far, he's had the ignition module tested, and it tested fine. He's changed the crank sensor, which was a PAIN to find! Still nothing...

Im hoping one of you will have more ideas. The fuel pump is running and he has pressure. It turns over great, but apparently has no spark..

I was reading that there are TWO crank sensors, but we cant find both...he changed the one that was between the tranny and the motor. Doesnt see one behind the balancer, or a wire for one?

We really need this car running, as its going to be his work car, if he ever finds a job!

Thanks so much for any help! Oh and it has a SES light on, BUT its not running and we have no tester. If we can get it going, we were going to take it down to Autozone for codes.

I convinced him to get an ignition module thing from the junk yard and it fires right up now. He swore that couldnt be it...but I saw on here how they test good but can still be bad :)
