    car died at red light on the highway. i guess cranks but wont turn over? pushed it to a shop close by.

    its still there now and they just replaced the crank sensor but nothing. they said there's still no spark

    i read a bunch of "car wont start" threads on here and i don't know what it could be. i saw them check fuel pressure, that was ok, can hear the fuel pump when you turn the key. the coil pack plugs where the wires plug onto are a bit oxidized...

    i just don't know... could a MAF be the cause???

    also thought i would add. 2 weeks ago the car would start then die instantly. i did the fuel bypass mod with the fuse. doubt its related but wanted to add anyway. and i currently have a new resistor coming in the mail

    also cabin has power, so that rules out battery / alternator

    there is a broken hose that connects to the supercharger, maybe thats why the car only gets half boost?

    Do you have a picture of the broken hose connecting to the supercharger?
    They told you there was no spark? What did they test for so far?
    I know MAF can do all kinds of crazy crap. But you should be able to unplug it and see if the car runs with it unplugged. If it does, MAF may need cleaned or replaced.
    If there is no spark whatsoever, I would probably make sure the ICM ground wire is attached properly and then maybe check coil packs. But I wouldn't really think all 3 would go out at once? I'm sure someone else couls offer more/better help. Just stay posted =o
