96 dodge intrepid no spark - 4/15/2008 5:22:08 PM    Collin0416   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/15/2008 Status: offline My 96 intrepid stoped running while i was driving it one day.  Thought fuel pump was out so i replaced that wouldnt start so i checked a few other things and found that the spark plugs are not sparking at all.  I replaced the Ignition coil battery and spark plugs. The starter is less than 2 years old and still under waranty.  The starter can be heard turning but the engine wont start.  Anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it? < Message edited by Collin0416 -- 4/15/2008 6:18:42 PM > Post #: 1
