Default starting problems

here's the situation i have a 91 escort 1.9 liter. it has no mechanical ignition system. went to start car other day started ran fine for a bout a minute and then just died like i turned the key off. first i checked the spark no spark at all then i checked the edis passed autozone test 5 times so its fine then i changed coil pack still no spark. now keep in mind it turns over great just no spark has plenty of gas by the way checked voltage coming from coil pack to rule out plug wires. now when i go to crank the engine over i noticed that i had no dummy lights light up when i turn key you know how they are supposed to all light up before the car starts well they dont. and i also noticed that the turn signals will not turn on but the hazards will. the factory radio is reading 0:00 on the clock. went through the wiring schematic and came to the constant control relay module. but i have no idea where to find this on the car or even if this is the problem. have also ran across something called ecm relay but same thing dont know where to find or if its the problem. also could a bad water temp sensor be the culprit because i checked water and it was a little low but car wasnt running hot. any help woulld be appreciated

Thanks for your time

Default RE: starting problems

It appears you have same problem I have except my car is a 96 Escort 1.9 no mech ignition. I also can't seem to find certain parts. I have come to conclusion it may be a Camshaft Position Sensor or the Crankshaft Position Sensor both supply critical information. One thing that I have noticed is that the fan runs immediately when I crank it over, I don't think that is normal but, maybe it is and I do have dummy lights. You appear to have schematics, where did you get them? My thread is 96 Escort will not start. Let me know if you have any information. If you read my thread you will notice I replaced my coil pack also and I also replaced a perfectly good alternator.
