Car Won't Start, No Spark, No Power to Coilpacks
As the subject says, my car won't start. I'm getting no spark, nor is there any power to the coilpacks. Everything appears connected.
This has happened gradually, as the car would start after several tries a few days ago, but now does nothing but turn over. I'm hoping to get the codes scanned soon, but I'm assuming they're only EGR and misfire codes.
This started after I installed the LS6 intake, but as I said, the car would start fine several days ago. It fired right up following the install.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Fuses looked OK and everything I can reach seems to be plugged in. I just had the codes scanned (thanks Steve) and the EGR was the only thing that showed up. I'm really stumped. The most confusing part is that it's happened gradually, as if something has slowly gone bad.
After doing some research, I'm convinced it's the either the cam or crank position sensor. Sound about right?
Thanks for the suggestions.

See if you are not getting fuel to BOTH sides of the engine to narrow things down.
You need to make sure that you have fuel.
You should feel the injectors clicking if you put your fingers on them.
