Unhappy Crank/No start problem!

Hello guys, need some advise where to else to look. I got a 2002 camaro LS1(6pd) with 61k miles. The problem started over this past weekend. I first noticed the car would take longer to start up. Yesterday it got to the point where I got crank but no start.

It starts randomly and drives fine when it does( no check engine codes/ no miss fires).
I tested fuel pressure (about 55psi) But i get no spark. I tested the power to the CKP and its good, I also changed it while I was at it.
Help please, any hints???

start with the basics, check the ignition relay fuse and any other starting fuse

I checked the fuses and they're good. Can a defective ignition relay cause crank but no start?

The ignition relay seems to be the problem. Bought a new one and starts up fine. Thanks again for the quick response.
