Exclamation My EVO is dead!!! Please help

I was driving on the parkway doing about 70 mph when the car just shut down. I tried starting it, but still nothing. I have NO spark at all. What could be the cause of this. I just got my car back from getting the water pump done yesterday the temp gauge is not working right but i think thats the thermo. Why would i have no spark? Also I have power to the coils

Can you read the ecu via ecuflash?

I guess the first thing I would do is check all the connections you can get to easily.

Is taking it back to the shop that did the water pump an option?

its far. My father owns a shop but my scanner is being serviced. I didnt do the pump because it such a pain in the a** IM thinking anti theft, Cam sensor or crank sensor. Anyone chime in if they have any input. I do have ecu flash and a tactrix. Can i pull the codes with that?

Yes, but you need to download the scan tech software from aktivematrix.com and you have to register. All free of course.

Jump timing? You said the water pump was done which is run off the timing belt.

Crank Sensor came loose?

the download at activematrix is that mittsulogger? I thought crank or cam sensor. the radiator pissed antifreeze and water all over the crank sensor. I had to drive it to the shop with the cap loose.

the anti-theft light woult come on it it was that. Pull your plugs out and check those. Does sound like it wants to start or is it not even doing that?

No it's Scan Tech, it reads OBD II codes using the Tactrix Cable. EvoScan and Mitsulogger dont do this.

either something with the crank position sensor(or the crank sensor wheel), or maybe your key, or etacs ecu had a bain fart and you need your key reprogramed.

ok since i had the water pump done and the crank sensor is right there im leaning towards that as the problem. Will a CAM position sensor throw a code as well? if it is the crank sensor should i bring it back to the shop where i had the pump done?

check your engine fuses under the hood. that sounds like the symptoms i had as well. My rear o2 housing rubbed on my exhaust shielding and fried the engine fuse. Its a 20 amp fuse i think its in position 8 maybe?

Yea man all USDM EVOs since 03 came with an immobilizer. But as stated if this was the case the key light on the dash would light and blink.

Just signed up, this really works to pull codes? I thought the new Evoscan was the first to do it?
