Default I'm all out of ideas..

Hi,
I have a 94 Galant with a 6A12 2lt. 6 cylinder engine.
It cranks but wont start.
It has only got spark to two cylinders (from the same coil pack)
I have tested the coil packs, they're fine.
I have replaced the crank angle sensor.
I have replace the coolant temp sensor.
I have disconnected and removed the after market alarm.
It still cranks but still wont start.
Has anyone got any ideas of what to do next??

physically swap coil packs around, check HTs arent arcing out, then get a scope on your ignition control/ module.

Thanks Akzle, I already swapped the coils packs and the HTs are good. Do you know how to test the ignition module?

osciloscope or led test lamp between the output and ground.
it should indicate in sync with rpm, for each coil.
What i would expect, is that the working coil will flash/ peak, and the non workings will either be constant (shorted) or not at all (ignition failure)

also, crank it in a dark garage.
Coils can ohm good but arc out when hot.

its not often you meet people as willfully ignorant as our retarded compadre mikelette, but there you go. Whats more surprising is that he keeps coming back to prove himself stupid.

but perhaps i should have specified that arcing will be obviated, that is, easier to see, when its dark.
