wont start. no spark 03 Escalade
Hey guys. This lady has a 03 Escalade. Was driving. And all of a sudden shut off. So, checked fuel, pump comes on. Has good pressure. So, pulled a plug. No spark. Tried a new crank sensor. No luck. With the old sensor, I turned the engine over by hand and could hear the fuel pump prime and such with every turn. So I'm assuming it's getting signal from the CKS? I tried seeing if the volts would pulse to see if the sensor is bad, but I don't think I had a good connection.
Could a Cam sensor cause no start as well?

I tried a new CKS, but still no luck.... No codes came up.
Well. I'm using a old hand held tuner, notala scanner, and nothing came up under saved codes, but "codes after css" or something, I had 49 codes. Everything from the MAF to MAP and CMS and CKS sensors showed faults.

Kind of sounds like a ground strap broke off. Have you checked all the ground points/cables/straps?
Get yourself a halfway decent code reader, preferably one that can display code definitions from P0001-1000. If you can spend more money, get one with manufacturer-specific definitions from P1001-2400.
Something like this will come in handy:

You need to clear ALL the codes and then see what codes come back as pending/set. Autozone will do loaner programs sometimes on their scan tools, you pay for it and then return it when done.
