Default TT LS1 in a Volvo Wagon! NEED HELP TOO!

Here is some pics of my car in case you have not seen it yet. I can't get spark and don't know why. Its a 99' swap package with the harness never removed from the motor. What is needed to satisfy the ECU to power the coils other than all the power wires and grounds?

Make sure you are getting a signal from the crank and cam sensor. I accidentally had one of mine grounded out and it caused that condition.

12 volts + ground + crank sensor = spark

That's the equation!
