Looking at prints there is a 15A fuse that feeds the coil packs. So check your fuses.

If they check out, it may be a sensor or ECU.

I checked all the fuses yesterday and they all passed in the engine bay. Could a nock sensor cause it not to spark?

I threw the code reader on it and nothing came up. Sooo. I guess I'll try that. It can't hurt anything I suppose. The cam sensor is behind the intake manifold? As mechanically inclined as I am, I'm still learning haha.

Well it wont throw codes yet not running, it will display generic codes. But the ECU uses those signal to fire out where it is and when to spark. Then uses those and other sensors to control the spark while running.

The cam sensor is located behind the intake manifold, and the crank PS is near the starter on the side of the block.

Well yes. I just hate dealing with the dealership. They take forever to do anything and half *** it. I rather do it myself if It's simple. But. It was the ignition relay. Again. I was checking over the fuses and i tried starting it. And yeah. Idk. New ignition relay and all is well. Thanks for the help.

Whoops I should have asked you to check for power after I looked at the schematics. We were close.

Haha yes we were I assumed the ignition relay was good since I replaced it so recently but I was checking for power in the fuse box and I guess just bumped the relay the right way I kept hearing it click. So I tried starting it and it fired right up. Replaced it and hopefully wont have anymore issues for a while. Thanks again for the help

The starter relay is right next to the ignition relay. On occasion mine goes out for no reason. I keep two spares in the glove box.
