- An arcing spark plug wire or an arcing ignition coil to the ICM may cause a stall, misfire or a no start condition.
- The following may cause a no start condition:
- Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation.
- The CKP sensor coming in contact with the reluctor wheel.
- Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel.
- Excess crankshaft end play will cause the CKP sensor reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP sensor. This could result in a no start condition, a start and stall condition or erratic performance.
- An improperly installed crankshaft could cause excess crankshaft end play.
