[Shotimes] FW: No Start Condition

Everyone has moved on to the yahoo group.  I'm the only one keeping the
light on. :)

If it won't even crank, it's generally the starter, battery, or ignition
switch.  None of those other thing (DIS, CPS, etc) have anything to do
with it.

So, not one comment or idea on this?  I can't have stumped all of
you....



> Okay, this involves the 94 ATX that I sold last year.  The person is
describing to me what sounds like a crank sensor failure.  The car will
sometimes start, sometimes not.  It's not related to heat though.
Sometimes the car will start when cold sometimes hot.  There really
isn't a pattern. The difference that I can think of is that it didn't
really happen for a month or more and then it started happening more
frequently.  Now the car is dead in the water.  It won't crank or
anything, so I'm thinking there might be more wrong.  The dealer she
went to said that the entire wiring harness was bad.  I can't imagine
that.  If the DIS module was loose, it wouldn't keep the car from
cranking would it?  I know it's hard to diagnose something from third
party ramblings, but does anyone have any ideas that I might suggest to
her? She's moved to Birmingham, and I'm in Florida, so I can't even get
a look at the car myself.  The crank sensor is two years old and about
40,000 miles.  I replaced everything on the front at that time.  They
usually last longer than that, yes?  She mentioned that she had the
transmission rebuilt right before this started, is there something that
could have been pulled loose or not reconnected that could have caused
this?
