91 Riv, no spark, no inj pulse
Hello all, working on one of the kids' car. A 91 Riviera. Stalled while idling (quite possibly ran out of gas) Then.....crank, no-start. I've been out of the business for over a decade, but we used to change alot of crank sensors for this, so I did. No joy! My next thought, Ign module. Had it tested.....failed. Replaced it. No joy! I have voltage to the module, but am unsure of which wire should provide ground, I have none that I can find. Tried an old cam sensor test on recomendation of a friend with no result. Any ideas?

Sounds familiar. You might want to look at my thread: https://www.gmforum.com/buick-172/90-buick-stalling-no-start-300509/

Well.... I got the GM trouble tree for 'crank, no start' from a friend still in the dealership.
Ruled out crank sensor and module. With a noid light installed now, and the entire ignition harness replaced (turns out I had some insulation issues) I now have injector pulse while cranking, no spark and the wierd thing....... when I stop cranking, the injectors go NUTS! I start getting random injector fire and fuel pump with KOEO after attempted starts. Probably more harness issues... any hints?

I've seen shorted injectors cause this. You can check ohms or disconnect one at a time to find the bad one. It will usually start and run on 5 cylinders.

I got it!!! I was looking at the test to check the crank sensor and thought I would check the grey wire with the red tracer to see if it was grounding through the module. it wasn't. I fixed a random PCM ground and all has returned to to peaceful bliss!!
