HIGHLY ANNOYED!
Ok.. I bought a 1996 Dodge Avenger FOUR weeks ago. It has been running beautiful and it has 112K on it. Now a week ago, I go out to start the car and NOTHING.. IT will turn over but no fire.. So I did some homework..
*Air filter was clean and changed oil and filters a week prior to all this.
1. Thought it was the spark plugs.. NOTHING
2. Checked fuel pump... its humming
3. Thought it was the fuel filter... it ws clogged...so changed it but NOTHING
4. Crank Shaft Sensor... NOPE not that either
5. Checked Timing belt... Its turing and in time
6. Battery is ok..
7. Distr. cap was changed .. NOPE still not working
8. Brand new plug wires... NOPE not that either..
9. No fuses are bad.
After all this its getting plenty of fuel. And its getting pretty $$$$$
I have NO idea what could be wrong with this darn thing.. Do any of you have any idea what could be wrong with it?

RE: HIGHLY ANNOYED!
no i still havent got spark yet. i asked around at so called professional auto mechanics and they tell me confidently what the problem is so i went with their suggestions and blew money on parts that was related to the problem. though i put time and money in my car i am still up for suggestions from someone who has the same problem as i do. do you have any ideas why im not getting a spark yet?
plus at least two of the parts the i replaced were in bad need of replacing.. It seems that the car never had a tune up after 100K, nor the spark plugs being replaced or the fuel filter.. WhenI changed the oil it was pitch black and gritty as hell. so thats when I first noticed the car wasnt take care of before.
Id like to thank anyone that can help me ahead of time.

checked prices on coils.. its so much cheaper than the computer which is the last thing i want to replace.. same with asd. When we get the money this week I'll be able to look at the both of them.
