ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.

Default Hey Guys, I hope someone can help me

Glad to find this place,anyway here's the deal,I am baffled.I just replaced my serpentine belt for my 98 zx2,(what a bitch) but got it done,anyway I can't get my car to turn over,I changed the spark plugs,the ignition coil as well as the ignition wires.It wants to crank but it won't quite turn over.Someone at the auto parts told me that my coil is getting spark so it can't be the cam or crank sensor is this true? Any help is appreciated like I said I'm baffled.

Please rewrite your post without using the words crank or turnover, because they have different meanings to different people and I for one do not know what you mean.

Also you can get spark FROM the coil... not TO the coil, so what did you test, and what did you observe?
If I sound bitchy, sorry, I am tired, and I want to help, but don't want to guess.
