99 pontiac Grand Am no start

Gentlemen and Ladies,

Assistance is needed for a 99 Grand Am. When it was towed into the shop there were no CEL or DTL, no codes in the computer. We’ve replaced the ignition control module, both crank sensors, and reset the security thing. We have fuel, but no spark. Thanks for the help!

Fuses, relays? Where does the power stop at?

Was a bad chassis ground. Fired right up after that. Will check after lunch to make sure it's nothing else.

I will have to take a look around my wife's car. She has a 2002 Grand Am. I swear to god that vehicle hates me. On Monday, it cut out at highway speed on the Interstate doing 65-70. Of course it right before the exit I needed to get off on. This is weird since I had the car out all Sunday and even recharged the A/C.

Luckily we have a car club so they were able to tow the car back to the house where it now sits in the driveway. After some research, I am not looking forward to any repair bills on this vehicle. It has had a enough electrical gremlins to make me want to drop it off a cliff. Given the fact this vehicle will be replaced with either a Fusion or MKZ next year. We had a rental MKZ a few months back and loved the car.
