Default No Spark

New build only been to the track a few times. Changed nitrous jets last night to go to the track today and wouldn't start when trying to load it on the trailer. Can definitely smell the gas but not getting spark. Tried changing the crankshaft position sensor but no luck. I was rolling it over viewing rpm on my scanner and it was showing rpms when it was rolling over. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. I found that thread when I did a search. Definitely getting fuel, hp tuners and my tech 2 both see rpms when its rolling over. Tried CPS, like I said, tried another CPU now too and no difference. is there any way to test for signal right at the coil? We were working on changing my nitrous jets and had to pull the nitrous line over behind the intake but I would think if a wire got smashed it would have to be more than one. I also cant think of any connecter that could come apart back there that would cause this.

Found the problem. Some how a couple of my grounds came off on the drivers side head. Not sure if the bolts wasn't through them all or if a few were on a separate bolt and it vibrated out but we put them all under one bolt and applied a little Loctite. Thanks.
