Question
On my 1997 Buick Skylark, the engine abruptly quit. I do not have any spark. I have replaced the Ignition Coil, the Crank Sensor and the Computer and there still isn't any spark. Any other suggestions?  

Answer
Sounds like your security system is activated. Check your key...it has a resistor on each side of it...make sure it is clean and dry. reinsert the key, turn on wait 3 mins. try to start it.
If it works, great. If not, try another key.(when the key is worn, it will not work, but turns the anti-theft device on, which turns the ignition and fuel pump off,
Have this checked, and turned off, if the above doesn't work.
