2002 Olds Alero - Died after hitting bump in road?
I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero - No real problems until now lol - while driving down a local highway - I hit a small bump coming onto a bridge and the engine just died. I have power to everything I have checked - Fuel Pump is elec and working to supply the line - the crank is turning as I can hear the exhaust valves operating and puffing air as the engine turns over - it is as if the cylinders are not getting fire to them -- The engine is the 4 ltr Ecotech engine and I changed the Ignition Control Module that mounts on top of the engine and this did not help -- Could this all be the result of a wire being jarred loose or a fuse problem ????? Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated as I am pulling my hair out by the roots attempting to find this problem. Thank You in advance for your time and patience while reading this - I am just trying to fill in all possible questions you mite have.

have you checked the coil wire may be loose or burned at one end or could be in the fuse panel under the hood spray some penetrating oil in to panel could have a loose or bad connection there as well.

Yes something might have gotten loose . You said you replaced the Ignition control module. The question is are you getting spark or not . You need to check for spark to each cylinder then go from there . It also be a loose battery terminal or ground wire. You ECU could have also taken a crap.

once you're saying "vtec engine" do you mean a honda engine or the GM equivalent (vvti?)? If it fairly is a GM 4 it is going to be an ecotec engine yet additionally they had a 2.4 non-ecotec in aleros. Neither of which seem to have variable valve timing. leave the automobile in independent and rev the engine, it is going to sound effective. this could be a transmission difficulty from what it feels like regardless if it fairly is the inventory engine or a alternative engine. The moisture isn't a difficulty.
