Are you getting power to your Crank Angle Sensor?

Do you have 12V to the coil? At the CAS? Does the tach bounce?

That little guy generates its own power through magnetic fields, much like a mini permanent magnet generator. All 4 wires coming from it are output wires to the ECU...

We go through this so often (ignition problems), it would probably be better to search, because all of the likely troubleshooting steps have been covered hundreds of times...You'll find a lot of good ideas from a lot of different people that way also
