Default Car will not start, Need expert help!

OK, I have tracked down about everything that I can thnk of, now I need some help. My car turns over but will not start. I am not getting any spark. My fuel pump primes, I have 58psi fuel pressure. I have checked all of my grounds and they are all hooked up and tight. I keep getting this u1000 and u1016 code. But after doing some research everyone says that this code is meaningless.

Also after I turn off the key the service engine soon light stays on for about 5 seconds. Kinda weird! I have tried a new PCM but it does the same thing with that pcm. I am not sure what the problem is.

It did start at one time, then I went back out loaded a tune and then it would not start. SO then I went back put the stock tune in it and it still does the same thing.

Are you sure that all the values in the tables you changed are in the same data unit? (gram/sec as apposed to lb/minute)

Did you ever get this figured out? I hope it wasn't something like the coil packs not being plugged in

Nope it was never figured out, and the harness is plugged in. I have someone going to check every wire at the computer with a live data tool to see if there are any breaks in the harness somewhere that I can not see. I am also going to have them check the crank sensor and see if it is throwing out a signal to the computer.

Even with Vats Deleated I have seen a issue with the BCM. My tech jumps some wire out not sure and it will fire up. Not sure if this is the problem but this is one that has stumped us in the past and we have seen a few now with the same issue.

Good luck
