    So I was playin music in my 04 3.4 taco. (I have 2 10" subwoofers) I went to crank it up and the battery was dead so i put a different battery in. it will turn over but the plugs arent gettin fire to them. Do you think it would be the camshaft sensor or crank sensor or something else??

    coil packs maybe but they wont all go at the same time if yours is 3.4 you have a coil pack per 2 cylinders. Is it all the spark plugs or just a couple of them not getting fire.

    also i would think it would still crank up with just a couple not firing. But not 100% on that so best of luck.

    if you have no spark it couldn't have just happened to all of them, must be coincidence. Any codes before this, any misfire codes specifically? I think the crankshaft/camshaft sensor would throw a code.How did you diagnose no spark?
    also post your findings for future reference

    Some of this Some of that
    ^x2 start simple and check fuses, especially dealing with aftermarket electrical systems. Try disconnecting the battery and resetting the system again?
