There is no spark

Chevrolet Camaro 1997  164000 miles
There is no spark. I've already checked the optispark and crankshaft sensor and they are both alright. The coil and ignition switch are working properly just as well. What might it be? Does the crankshaft sensor send the signal to the optispark, then to the ignition switch and finally to the coil or how does it work?

Starting failure

Chevrolet Camaro 1994  197855 miles
Sometimes, the engine starts working at the first attempt, but suddenly stalls. If I try turning it on again quickly, nothing will happen. I need to wait for some seconds and only then it will start working again. Everything has been checked, and even the coil and distributor's cover and connectors have been replaced. When this failures occurs, there is no spark in the spark plugs. Sometimes, the following day the problem disappears and starts working without any problems. I would appreciate your help.

If your 1996 Chevrolet Camaro is turning over but not starting, and you're not getting any spark, there could be a few different causes for this problem. Here are a few things you can check to help diagnose the issue:

Ignition Control Module (ICM) - The Ignition Control Module (ICM) is responsible for triggering the ignition coil to fire, and if it's failing, it could cause a no-start condition. You can test the ICM by using a multimeter to measure the voltage at the module's input and output pins.
Distributor Cap and Rotor - The distributor cap and rotor can wear out over time, leading to misfires and no-start conditions. You should inspect these parts for cracks or other signs of wear, and replace them if necessary.
Spark Plug Wires - If the spark plug wires are damaged or worn, they may not be transmitting spark effectively to the spark plugs. Check the wires for cracks or other signs of wear, and replace them if necessary.
Ignition Coil - The ignition coil is responsible for amplifying the voltage from the ICM so that it can jump the spark plug gap and ignite the fuel mixture. If the coil is failing, you'll need to replace it.
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) - The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) is responsible for telling the engine management computer the position of the crankshaft, so that it can correctly time the ignition. If the CPS is failing, it can cause a no-start condition. You can test the CPS with a multimeter.

It won't start

Chevrolet Camaro 1997  76000 miles
My Camaro z28, 1997 suddenly does not start. The engine begins running but won't finally start working. Coils and the crankshaft sensor have been checked but everything seems to be alright. There is no spark in the spark plugs, and I was told it is the computer that is failing.

Buddy, I have a Camaro with exactly the same problem and, effectively, it turned out being a failure in the computer prom.
