If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: losing spark
cel doesn't come on and I get no codes
Is the computer alive? Is the CEL bulb just burned out, why doesn't it come on?
(main relay issue, ground issues, ecm issues, etc)

Can you create a few codes (unplug a couple easy sensors) just to verify they do set a code in the computer and can be read by a reader?
