Q: My car cranks but does not start.
My 91 Delta 88 Royale just up and failed one day. The engine cranks but doesn't start because no spark is getting to the plugs. I've replaced the ignition switch, the camshaft position sensor and the distributor for the plugs. The fuel pump is fine and there are no other issues.
My car has 103000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
