Default starting problem

I just got my car tuned and I drove it home now it hasn't started in 4 days. I just put new plugs in. I've checked all the fuses and they are fine. I have pressure at the fuel rail but I don't think I'm getting any through the injector and I don't think I'm getting any spark, which makes me think crank position sensor or ignition relay. Now what I thought was strange is my car would crank and crank but never fire so I switched the ignition relay and starter relay then it wouldn't even crank, so is something wrong with my starter relay??

Thanks.

Same damn thing is happening on my Z. It started periodically, but usually just cranked. Now it hasn't started at all in weeks. Checked everything you did, replaced the ignition relay, crank position sensor, coolant temp sensor, no codes are being thrown. No spark at the plugs, no signal at the coils. I think my problem has been narrowed down to the computer being bad. Sounds like yours may have something to do with the tune...

Yeah that's what I was thinking but I called the shop who tuned it and they said they don't think it's the tune but I'm leaning towards the opposite. I'm going to check a couple more things and if that doesn't fix it then I'm going to find a way to get it back up to my tuner.
