[s-cars] Sputter, No Boost, Stall, No Start.....New Battery and now No Check Engine Light.....

[chris chambers]

Jim,

When you turn your key the CEL light ( MIL) should illuminate, if it doesn't it's an indicator of a problem which 
I believe is a blown ECU fuse.  

One likely cause is one of the wires to your coils has worn through and started intermittently arcing to ground.
This could explain why your car's start stumbling, and gradually got worse. As the wire arced more the
car stumbled more.

HTH
Chris

I did notice that my CEL does not illuminate at all.....I've pulled codes as recently as a few months ago, and it came on during a stumble within the last month.  I want to say it was on when I stalled a couple days ago, along with all the other lights.  It's possible it could have gone out, but wanted to see if no CEL is indicative of something else.
