Well this is whats going on!! To make a long story short my damn car wont start. Its started off my missing alot then after a few days it just stopped turning on. It just cranks over and over!! I'v hand problems with the crank sensor before so I just assumed it was that. So I replaced it with a new one but it still does the same thing. I'v done a few searches and checked the main things.
1) fuel pump turns on and there's fuel @ the fuel rails
2) Ignition relay is good I'v swapped them around and they work fine
3) All the fuses are fine non of them blown

There's is NO spark at the plugs on either side and I have a ton of codes here's the list hopefully someone can help me out PLEASE!!!

P1637 - Generator L terminal circuit(been there before problem)
B1001 - Option Configuration Error
U1000 - Class 2 communication malfunction
U1300 - Class 2 short to ground
U1016 - Loss of class 2 communication with VCM
U1040 - Loss of class 2 communication with ABS
U1096 - Loss of communication with IPC

bad ground somewhere, check all the connections for your fuse blocks and distribution centers? If you still have voltage readings at the coil plugs, start with the fuse block under the hood with the ignition feed fuses or whatever they're called. It might be corroded or have a loose ground or power supply.

There's power to the coil packs I checked that. I also checked the fuses under the hood with a tester light and there getting power.

Recheck all your grounds. Take them apart and retighten them to make sure. Make sure your battery terminals are tight and not corroded. Check that your vcm connector isn't loose. Also make sure no wires are touching your headers or anything.

If you have a window switch or shift light or anything tapped into your tach wire, etc, make sure that's not grounding out on anything.

I'll check al my grounds today. I dont have a shift light or a window switch. Where are all the grounds that way I make sure not to forget any of them.

Haven't had a chance to check all the grounds yet. But do you think my pcm/ecu might be fried??

Checked the grounds and I found nothing wrong with them. The coil packs have power I checked them out with a tester light. I also swapped PCMs with a buddy of mine and still same problem. Car just cranks and cranks!! Same exact codes with his pcm also.

If it was me, I would start with the U1000 and U1300 codes. That is probably what is making all of these turn on. Short to ground would be my guess.

Ya thats what I guessing also. But I cant seem to find any short anywhere and everythikng I check has power. ONly thing is there is no spark to the plugs!!!

Sounds like you're screwed...

Seriously though...sorry to hear all that. IME, the U codes don't mean shiznit. EVERY car I've ever tuned pops those codes up on HP Tuners...

Ya thats what a few guys have told me. But those are the only codes I'm getting. Only thing left to replace would be the cam sensor but from what I'v read the car would still turn on if that was bad but it would just miss.

Problem solved!! Seems like when I swapped the crank sensor I pulled too hard on one of the crank wires and it got cut towards the middle. So my initial problem was the crank sensor then the wire I accidently cut!! Thanks to all those who tried to help.....
