I lenghtend your thread title to include more info..Ok so you mean you replaced the coils 5 times? the crank sensor four times?and the ECM once?....Have you checked funtionality of the ICM by chance..

OK, what gives you spark. Lets look at you have. You have no spark on any cylinder, so changing the coils is pointless. You have 3 coils right? The ICM controls all the coils, so if the ICM is bad, no spark. The crank sensor tells when to spark, bad crank sensor and no spark. The cam sensor tells where TDC is, bad cam sensor you may still get spark, just not where it should be. A damaged ignition wiring harness. I suggest testing the harness. If that checks out, then look at the ICM

this buick century has been here 6 weeks with no such luck.the owner wants to put a new pump and sender in it,he was told by the dealer that buicks have a shut off when the pressure is low.we tried 6 ignition coils and had the car running for 2 hours but then it died and hasn't ran since.Every wire and coil has been tested.We evan tried shipping this out the day but the owner like I said wants to keep changing parts but we're running out of parts to change.The ecm has been changed twice also.
