Hi,
I have a Galant with a 6A12 2lt. 6 cylinder engine.
It cranks but wont start.
It has only got spark to two cylinders (from the same coil pack)
I have tested the coil packs, leads and plugs. They're fine.
I have replaced the crank angle sensor.
I have replace the coolant temp sensor.
I have disconnected and removed the after market alarm.
It still cranks but still wont start.
Has anyone got any ideas of what to do next??

You haven't just fitted this engine have you?
I'm looking for a IFS test procedure at the moment.

Here is some info.
If you can read wiring diagrams you should be able to work out if the IFS is getting the correct signals from the harness.
