    . Does the CEL come on and go off normally, when you turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II)?

    . If you are saying the starter motor doesn't crank:

    If the Check Engine Light does not function properly and the starter motor does not crank, then you have something fundamentally wrong. Be sure to test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter. Visual inspection is NOT good enough. I would also remove and fully charge the battery. Most auto parts stores will do this for free. Be sure to clean all battery terminal and cable connections. Check the battery cables for unseen corrosion.

    What open wire spark did you see?
