Could also be a coil, or crankshaft position sensor located under the distibutor cap.

You can test these parts by buying a Chilton Manual at your local parts store and a multi-meter.

Default HA Ha Ha

Well after replacing both the crank sensor and the cam sensor the engine still would not fire so i went back over the the entire ignition system from the cam sensro to the plugs the flint in the top of the distributor cap was completely missing and the rotor contact was bent a little so now i dont have to worry about the crank sensor or the cam sensor for awhile now went a head and did a full tune up plugs wires and oil change to include cap and rotor pcv valve and lucas fuel treatment on premium techron gas and she's getting 20mpg on the highway flat road at 75mph
