Hi - don’t rule out anti-theft issues.
You might want to pull the battery +ve, connect to ground is a trick some do - in an attempt to reset rogue modules
Best Regards,

Still had a slightly rough idle, but was hoping more gas/treatment would burn off the carbon from driving around with loose plugs for years.

Today I decided to swap out what I thought were the cheap chinese flywheel sensors, but found OEM ones. Knowing I'd had them out before, dug thru folder and found a receipt from '04 from the dealer that I had purchased a speed sensor for $175 and only replaced that one because of cost(put it in reference hole). So pulled out all the one's I had and tested them cold/with heatgun....Threw 2 of the 6 in garbage. Had 2 newer ones in holder from a parts car and I had them in in a record 45 min including jacking. Ha. Project was made easier as I remember doing that for first time in '04 and it took at least a day, so I anti siezed bolts and barely snugged them up and had it out in literally 5 min(took seemingly forever to get the connectors back in).Still no start. Girlfriend came by and checked for spark and nothing. Fuel mist was coming out of plug hole so it's just no spark. Gonna clean grounds(since its been sitting outside for awhile) and just for fun throw in another ECU since knee bolster is out before I get out the meter and start tracing electrical stuff. Checked all fuses deemed worthy. Car never has a code and I surprisingly get Hall sender code, but I've verified these cars can start/run with no hall, so confident that's not my no spark. Anything easy I might be missing? I love this car why?
