help... no spark!?

I posted this in the external engine but nobody looked at it yet so here it is. Basically I have been having problems with my car starting for about a week or 2. It wouldnt start for like 5 minutes or so. Well I went to the track last nite and naturally it decided it wasnt going to move anywhere. So long story short It has no spark. Anybody have any suggestions? If any local guys want to come over and can fix it Im good for a case of beer ...lol

But I just want this damn thing to start. I am stumped now. Does anyone know what the voltages should be going to the coil packs? If anyone has ANY input on this please, i'll damn near try anything. Oh and the tune is fine it was dyno tuned 3 days ago. and yes it had the problem before the tune. The car runs great when it gets started but it just is a pain in the *** getting it started. lol... especially with no spark.

Thanks guys!

you've verified with the old screwdriver test that its no spark?? it always runs the fuel pumps when you cycle them, even when the car won't start at all?

yep, used the screwdriver. And the fuel pumps cycle, everytime I turn the key back then forward. I didnt verify the pressure ( I dont have a gauge) but it has pressure at the schrader valve, Someone told me that it may be a crank sensor? im going to replace that today. workin on this car is going to take up my whole day today. So if you have any ideas, I will be checking this out all day. Btw silverghost, I saw your car at speedinc, one hell of a sweet ride! thanks for the input, Let me know what you think.

thanks
