Default No spark from MicroSquirt

I'm not getting spark for some reason from the MicroSquirt. As far as I can tell everything seems to be connected correctly, the crank sensor seems to work and the injectors seem to work. I've loaded denmah bench test tune and calibrated the tps. Are there settings in tunerstudio that I need to set up? The motor is an lq4 with 24x wheel.
Any help is appreciated.

Go to the uSquirt forums and post your tune and a log. You have provided absolutely zero info that would allow someone to help you figure it out and you will be ignored there as well if you post the same thing there as you did here.

No, it's not. Sorry, I thought I had put that in the original post.
