I think it was just a fluke. My scanner showed no signal from the crankshaft position sensor. I went in to replace it, and I was also going to do a timing belt while I was in there, the sensor is under the timing belt covers. I found that the timing belt had shed about half its teeth, and some of them were lodged in between the sensor and the toothed wheel. I could see how it could have made an occasional spark. This guy was a lucky mo fo. the timing jumped about 4 teeth, and not one bent valve. New belts, and replaced sensor, fired right up, and ran perfect
I have never seen one fire on ether without spark before, and have probably done this hundreds of times in my life, This engine was stone cold, ( well, 88 degrees here )
