Car will turn over, but just wont "POP"
Parked my car sunday night, it snowed all night and I went to start my car this morning and it would not start.
It turns over, but it would not start.
I tried to spay some starting fluid down the air intake but that did absolutely nothing.
So I'm thinking it has to be something electrical like the coil pack or fuse. I really have no idea
Any help would be great! Thanks

If you've got battery power, it's either fuel or spark.
Not sure if the old 'pull the plug, attach to plug wire, and look for spark' still works (might throw a code?), but that's one possible option.
Could be frozen fuel line (water in fuel?), but if you tried ether and got no joy, then you're correct that it's probably spark. But that stuff doesn't usually fail in a 'cold overnight' scenario. Do you smell fuel (if you keep cranking, with no spark, you should notice gas, especially if you pull a plug.)

Checked a couple of fuses today, fuel pump (F20, 20A, inside left kick panel) and ECM; ignition coil fuel injectors; crankshaft position sensor (F02, 20A, under the bonnet. both fuses were good.
Here are some pictures of a bare ware was rubbing, just noticed it but where not touching when i tried to start the car.
I will try and tape up the wires and start it again, idk if the high voltage associated with the coil would make it arc to the metal.

Would there be a fuse for that sensor?
it has 3 wires im assuming one is for power, another for ground and the other for the output signal..
If you were to ground out the power would it just blow a fuse (if its fused)
ground out the ground... and well its grounded
but if you ground out the output signal it would read 0vdc (.6vdc-1.5vdc high vacuum, idle... 4vdc low vacuum, full throttle)

I have hope they will get my car to run Fri, after a starter and plug change out, if not maybe we should hire a truck and send them to Des Moines?

So I did not have spark, I used a new spark plug I found in my garage, think it was for a lawn mower. But I touched the body of the spark to a metal support under the bonnet, had a friend turn the engine over.
So could it be the coil, or the map sensor since the wire is bare.

I talked to another guy he said he ended up replacing his DME module (computer)
I think I may have shorted out the DME, because of map sensor grounding if it where the power wire it may have produced Hightower current that the powe supply couldn't handle.. Still unsure going to see if I can find someone parting out a mini
