New to 97-01

So I picked up a 2001 sport 4.0 A-w4 231.
It has no spark so I ordered a coil pack from Napa. I picked up new plugs I'll install while I wait for my coil pack to arrive.
Is there anything else that is typically bad involving the ignition system? What about the pickup or sender that fills the hole where the distributor used to live?

I'm going to trans plant the goodies from my parts rig on to the 01.

Any help is much appreciated.

No spark?



I would of started with the CPS first if the tach isnt moving while turning over.

Tach bounces my scanner said misfires on 1 and 6 plus a multiple misfire code.

I cleared the codes but it didn't improve anything. Thanks I'll check the CPS in the morning.

I checked the coil pack by pulling it free removing the rubbers and using a grounded antenna for contact and no spark.

The coil rail itself rarely fails, I'd be concentrating on the CrPS and the CmPS along with all the wiring.

Ok thank you I'll check those out today!

Thanks

Also pay close attention to the injector wiring, that's where it all started on my 2k.

I am taking this as your cranking over, and not starting to having misfires. I had a not start, then no crank, back to crank but no start this past Summer on an '00.
First, check the voltage of your battery. Then check the voltage at the Distribution box. Then it gets complicated. Also, I do not remember the exact fuses etc. Also, did you check fuel pressure? Also, get a Noid Light to check the injectors are firing.
There is a relay in the Distribution box, the ADL or such. Check voltage at it, and the no 10 or 11 in the fuse box by the passenger foot well.
The CkPS, the CPS and the TPS can create issues. The CkPS part number is for the 00-01 years.
On mine, I replaced all the above and injectors and fuel pump. Also, upgraded battery cables. When I checked with the Noid light, it only flashed when I released the key. A friend told me it sounded light the ignition relay switch. I replaced the electronic part on the left side of the steering column. After a few tries, it started. I had to start it several times and with starting fluid, then it ran fine.
Also, you can check the coil packs with an Ohm meter. There are 4 pins. One is the ground, the other 3 are to each coil. Also, might check voltage at the coil wiring plug.

Checked all my wires got spark from the new coils the old one was well under spec.
I also found I'm not getting any fuel to the rail. Checked all fuses relays and all have power to them swapped them around and still no 3-5 second charge. Looks like I'll be ordering a fuel pump this week.

Did you check the voltage at the plug to the fuel pump?

Not yet it is in a wet spot from me scrubbing it but now that Washington has shut down I'm sure I'll end up with idle time on my hands if the commissioner's see fit to shut down public works.

Thank you for help everyone.

Its got good power at the plug I thumped on the tank and couldn't get and response from the pump so I ordered a bosch 69316 I relocated it across the yard onto higher ground.
"Shh they're multiplying"
Its parked in front of its donor so the project will get started soon.
