Do the paperclip test until then its just guess work. I guess you will get a 19 ;)

Paperclip test...unbend a paperclip and stick one end in pin 4 the other in pin 6 (for your 3.0 v6)...will flash out the codes...pin 1 being top right pin 2 being the one immediately below it and so on...

Gonna try a crank sensor today, I can see the crank sensor if I right it's under neath the oil filter. Where is the plug to it (is it a pig to get too)? If it's no spark could it be a crank sensor?

Is it just a simple case of unplugging them? Also could this be the reason it won't start?
