GAH! Broke down..Cranks but no start.
So, yesterday I went to get gas, car ran great, no problems at all. So I proceed to pull in the gas station, went in, paid for my gas and pumped it. Got back in the Bonne... crank crank crank crank...hmm uh oh...crank crank crank crank...****!
So, I pull out my scantool, no codes...hmmm. Fuel pressure, perfect...hmm. So anyways I got it towed home, and this is when I found my grandma (see post in lounge), so today I want to diagnose it. So a few minutes ago, I checked the spark, and guess what? No spark! So guys, what can the problem be? I have no codes, fuel pressure is fine, but no spark whatsoever.
Urgh...
EDIT - yes, all fuses are good. I checked.

Crank Sensor
Ignition Control Module
Or Possible bad wire to one of the 2 above

Isn't the 92 an adjustable crank sensor? Where the 93 is set it and forget it?

Crank sensor is fine, it was just replaced with a new ACDelco one. I have absolutely no codes also except for the normal 58.
I absolutely have no spark, so I am assuming a bad ICM, unfortunately I don't have the money at the time, so if anyone has a spare one, I'd like to borrow it to be absolutely certain it is my problem. I am not too happy because it just HAD to fail right before Sears will end up calling me in for my job training.
If anyone has one to sell me or borrow, PM me with a total price, or a price for shipping if I can borrow it.

Did you check the fuses on the passenger side? The ICM fuse is over there. If you have a voltmeter it'* actually easier to just check for 12 volts (key on) at the pink wire going to the ICM.
If the crank sensor was rubbing on the harmonic balancer it wouldn't last long.

All fuses are fine, never had a fuse blow so far. Fuel pressure is the norm. with the key on. Someone told me that the ICM could have failed due to lack of dielectric grease on the back. True? Just wondering because it'* never had any grease on it.
BTW, the crank sensor is fine in terms of adjustment, I have friends in places (got to borrow a crank sensor tool from the dealer)
