96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
If not for the kindness of strangers,,,
I have a 1.5 DOHC that has no spark. I am trying to find the information that will tell me what the readings are supposed to be for the coil and crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. I have seen several sites with information on it, but some show a transistor pack and some do not. Is there some place to get this information? I just got the car yesterday. The guy I bought it from just replaced the coil pack and that didn't solve the problem. I have power on the harness to the cam sensor. I have power on the coil. it seems it is not getting the trigger signal to spark. Any ideas? |

Check www.hmaservice.com. You'll need to register for an account, but it's
free. I'd put the betting-man's best odds on the crank sensor. The camshaft sensor won't cause this issue-- the car should still start. |

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Thank you for the advice. I joined that site and got a lot of good
information. It is lacking on this particular motor though. I have power going into the cam sensor but no signal I think. Is there a way to check the crank sensor without changing it? The book I have does not give the specs for the readings. thank you again. hyundaitech wrote: >Check www.hmaservice.com. You'll need to register for an account, but it's >free.

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
I don't recall whether they give any resistance specs. Typically, the best
way to check a crank (or cam) sensor is to attach a scope to see if you're getting the proper waveform. I don't recall whether the sensor on this vehicle generates a square wave or an ac sine wave. For the square wave variety, you'll need power and ground to the sensor, so be sure to check for those items in that case. The ac variety on the other hand, must simply produce the sine wave. Remember, the vehicle will still start even if the cam sensor is bad. If you have access to an OBD-II scanner, you could check for trouble codes. A code for the crank sensor is the primary hint that you should look there. |

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
I do not have an obd2 scanner. I am trying to find one. I do have an old
oscylliscope. I hooked it up to see what was happening. I am getting a signal out of Crankshaft Position Sensor A when I put the positive lead on the wire and the negative lead on the ground. I do not get the same reading or any reading out of the CPS B. Does this indicate that it is bad? How else can I test it without the car running? What else could cause a no spark condition? I have replaced the coil pack with another one. I just replaced the cam sensor. I have checked all the fusable links. I have power at the coil. I just don't have spark. I would be very grateful for your assistance. Thank you very much. hyundaitech wrote: >I don't recall whether they give any resistance specs.

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
What are Crankshaft Position Sensor A and CPS B? Your car should only have
one crankshaft position sensor. A quick look at the schematic (ETM tab, fuel section) shows a shielding wire and two signal wires. If you hook the scope between the two signal wires you should get an ac signal (similar to a sine wave) when cranking. |

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Well you will not believe this one! I bought another crankshaft position
sensor and it did not solve the problem. I put the new one in and hooked up the scope just like you said. I tried to turn it over and the stupid thing started sparking all over the place. I was getting spark but not at the right times. I tried to turn it over and I could hear it back fire and try to start. But the signal is somehow coming from my oscilliscope not the sensor. The crank sensor has three wires on it. One is the one that goes to Crank Position A and one goes to crank position sensor B. Those two are the ones doing this. Would the CPU be bad? Is there a power line that could be bad powering up the CPU? I also have a power problem with the windshield wipers. The power line that goes to the motor does not have power. If I jump it to the battery, I get full function of the wipers. Could these two things be related somewhere in the power lines? By the way, I am a licensed Automotive Electrician. I just have not had this problem before. By the way, it is a 1.8 not a 1.5. Well, any more suggestions? I want to thank you for all you have done alreay. You have helped so much. Thank you. I really mean it. hyundaitech wrote: >What are Crankshaft Position Sensor A and CPS B?

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
I just found out that this car has been wrecked before. It had front end
dammage. He told me he drove it from California to Michigan after the crash. It sat for a while and then wouldn't start. Could it be the SRS module under the center console? I looked. There are no air bags in the car. I didn't notice that before. Could this be why I have no spark? I am not familure with the safety cut off that Hyundai uses. Can this be bypassed? pulsarbird wrote: >Well you will not believe this one! I bought another crankshaft position >sensor and it did not solve the problem.

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Let's back up a little. I assumed you had an accent because you said you
had a 1.5 DOHC. What kind of car are we working on? The air bag system is in no way related to starting/not starting. Does the check engine lamp illuminate when you turn the key to the "on" position? If not, then we need to figure out why the computer isn't turning on. If you don't have power to the wipers, then you might look at that circuit first. Could be a common cause. I'd check all the fuses, even the large slow blow fuses, and especially the one in the small fuse box on the positive battery cable (if you have one). |

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Car 1996 Elauntra 1.8. Car was wrecked and has no airbags. I origionally
thought it had a 1.5 but it is a 1.8.The check engine light is on when the key is os. I have a signal coming from the crank sensor and from the cam sensor. I have power at the coil. I have replaced the cam sensor, crank sensor and coil pack. No spark. I have no idea if the cart has other problems. I hooked up a scan tool and no codes were set. The only time I had any kind of spark was when I did what you said and hooked my scope up to the two wires on the crank sensor. When I did that it tried to start, but the spark was all wrong. No scope no fire. All fuses have been checked with a meter.If the car was in an accident, wouldn't the cpu shut off or some other device shut something off? The guy said he drove the car to Michigan from California after he had the car repaired from the accident. He said it just wouldn't start one day. I have tested everything I can think of. Something is keeping the coil from getting the fire signal or the signal to break the power to cause the coil to fire. What else could it be? I really am stumped. Thank you again for your assistance. I hope that Hyundai appreciates what you are doing for them. I sure do. hyundaitech wrote: >Let's back up a little. I assumed you had an accent because you said you >had a 1.5 DOHC.

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Car 1996 Elauntra 1.8. Car was wrecked and has no airbags. I origionally

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Now that I've looked at the correct schematic, I see it's pretty much the
same as the Accent anyway. The fact that whatever it was you did at the crank sensor wires caused a spark I would think means that the system is capable of producing spark once it sees this signal. I've heard of cases of the wheel coming loose from the crankshaft. If your the end of the old sensor is damaged, that may be the problem. Even if it isn't damaged, it may be worthwhile to pull the sensor out and attempt to move the wheel with a screwdriver to see if it's loose. I've seen cases where the crank and cam were enough out of time for the engine to not fire. Pull the upper timing cover and check the cam sprocket for proper position. If it's okay, break the cam sprocket bolt loose (don't take it out, just loose enough so that it will turn freely). Have someone crank the engine and watch to see that the bolt and sprocket both turn. If the sprocket turns, but the bolt doesn't, that means the alignment dowel has broken and the camshaft is out of position with the sprocket (usually caused by the camshaft seizing in the head). I've seen this on some cars that were starved for oil for one reason or another. It seems you're on the right track here, that it's an issue with the crank sensor. Actually, I think I may have an idea. With the crank sensor in, disconnect the cam sensor. If the coil sparks when you crank the engine, there would definitely be a timing issue between the crank and cam sensors; i.e. disconnecting the cam sensor removed the confusing issue. Keep in mind that if this is the case, the car still won't start, you will have simply verified that the camshaft isn't properly timed with the crank. At this point, since you have no codes, my gut feeling is that you have a mechanical issue. But, then again, it's difficult when I'm not actually looking at the car. |

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Thanks again for your assistance. The crank sensor is located by the flywheel.
I do not see any ring or anything to trigger the crank sensor besides the teeth of the flywheel. I was unplugging things to check for a bad connection when I noticed something. When I unplugged the SRS module between the seats, I tried to start it. nothing. ZI plugged it back in and when I did I tried to start it and I got one spark. I had the #1 plug wire hooked to a spare plug. It sparked one time and that was it. I unplugged it again but it didn't do it again. Are you sure there is nothing that that box could affect? I believe that this is a power problem somewhere. I hate to go testing around the ECM. I have an analog meter for that, but I still don't like it. I know the injectors are getting a signal. I tested that with a noid light. It seems like everything is working, but there is something stopping the signal getting to the coil. On the Hyundai site it states something about a code being set indicating a wreck and to replace the CPU. Could that be the case? Is there a test to find out? I hate to keep replacing parts. Is there a table that tells what the readings are supposed to be for the CPU and the SRS? Once we get this running, I will have to name it after you! lol. Thank you my friend. This Forum is the greatest. Hyundai should be very proud to have you. hyundaitech wrote: >Now that I've looked at the correct schematic, I see it's pretty much the >same as the Accent anyway.

Re: 96 hyundai 1.5 DOHC NO SPARK
Sorry forgot to tell you. The Crankshaft sensor was dammaged. I looked at the
end of it and the end looked like the flywheel hit it. That is why I replaced it. But it looked like it got hit during the accident it was not scrapped up real bad. It was just dented and looked like the teeth of the flywheel. But the dent was pretty minor. It must have worked since he drove it here from California. Can I replace the SRS module without replacing the airbags? pulsarbird wrote: >Thanks again for your assistance.
