    So i was headed up to deer camp, cruise set at 55, all of a sudden car dies, coast to a stop, check the engine, everything looks fine, no obvious problems, get back in, try to crank over, it cranks over and over and over, SOMETIMES will start for about 3 seconds with a crazy idle, and shut right back off, added more fuel to my tank (Just encase i was out), no luck, towed it to the trailer, and then started digging. checked my fuel pressure, it's at 45-50 PSI when cranking, all good there...next checked spark, my top coil wasn't giving off spark, and all plugs were wet at the end with gas, replaced the coil giving no spark, and the new coil ALSO isnt sending spark, and car still wont run. i just ordered an ICM, so i'll have to try that when i head back up to fix it, but is there anything else i should get, or check while im up there just incase this isnt due to the ICM?

    Car is a 1997 GT.

    Next guess would be a bad crank sensor, without a crank signal you will not get spark.

    I will check that aswell, but wouldnt a bad crank sensor cause all 3 coils to not have spark?
