yes
code 42 means its your ignition coil or your ignition coil module... my thought is its your ignition coil... its a common problem on older cars..

[b]anyone? HELP[/b]
Does anyone know how to check if your electronic spark module is good?
is that the thing here all the spark plug wires come from going into the engine, also i tried to check if i could get a spark by sticking a screwdriver into one of the spark plug connections and the electronic spark control but saw no spark?
car wont' start turns over but doesnt start so could it be the electronic spark module????? :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

spark
Take a spare spark plug and put the wire on it. and ground it against the manifold while someone cranks the engine. You should see the plug sparking if the ign is working.
