96 Escort 1.9 (distributorless)
I have not been able to drive my Escort for the past week and a half. It will not start, the problem is "No Spark". I have either replaced or checked the following items.
Coil Pack Replaced
ECU (computer replaced)
Plugs and wires are new
I have the Camshaft Position Sensor and the Crankshaft Position Sensors as the next items to check. Should I even go there? How can I check them without removing them. The manuals always talk about checking while car is running, and obviously I can't do that. What kind of resistance reading will these parts have? ANy help guidance would be great. Thanks

The fuel pump and ignition are unrelated systems in that respect, so if the FP isn't working it would have no effect on the spark.
Camshaft and crankshaft position sensors are the first things to check in a no-spark condition. I'd look at the cam sensor first.

I replaced it (Camshaft Sensor) and its alive, but I think during all of the troubleshooting/hunting and getting the car to start I have broke something else, here goes It ran this AM and the dash lights etc... were dim, so I measured across the battery terminals and read under 10 VDC and then the car died. So I jumped and it ran then died. What could the problem be? (Alternator/Voltage Regulator) or (Battery). What next?
