No Spark
okay guys i need some help. i pulled my motor and trans out and put a replacement in. no i am not getting and fire to the plugs. on both sides of the coil pack wiring harness i have 2 hot wires on both sides of the car. i replaced the cam and crank positioning sensors and still no fire. i know the pcm is seeing the crank because the fuel pump will run for 2 seconds after cranking. let me kno what you guys think could it be a ground issue??
if so maybe someone could give me the ground layout for the engine bay.
thanks alot. i hope to get this solved and started. it has been down for 4 months.

For one, the PCM doesnt need to see the crank turning for the fuel pump to engage, all it needs to see is the ignition in thw run position. Then if the PCM sees no cranking from the CKP sensor, it will disable the fuel pump relay.
It could be a ground issue. Check to make sure you have the ground wires bolted tight to the back of the head. Also make sure the ground wire down by the alternator is hooked up and is tight.

if after hooking up your grounds you still have problems. Check to make sure that you did not pinch any wires when installing the transmission. We had an issue at one point where the cam-position sensor got pinched between the tranny and the block, which made it deliver no spark.
