Try grounding 1 spark plug..Remove it and lay it on top of the engine while it's still connected and ground it out...against a screw driver or something. If it sparks ur good..If it doesn't, check ur from the wires backwards.

Hi and welcome to CF. Try doing a search on "Crank position sensor" its mounted on the trans near the back of the motor and this sounds like the problem...Tj
