Ok about 3 weeks ago now, i was driving and my car just died, and wouldnt crank back up period. It will turn over but it doesnt have a spark on from the plugs, I checked the wiring harness plugs for voltage and both side have voltage, but the spark plugs themselfs are not creating a spark at all. This is what ive checked/done

Changed plugs
Changed Coils
Put all brand new fuse's for ignition components
Checked fuel pump/ fuel pressure
Timing still lines up
Replaced both Cam Position Sensors

now what im wondering is if there is a Ignition Relay on the firewall or are those just 2 fuel pump relays? Anyone else have an idea?

You said the car is throwing a CEL. You need to pull the code and find out what it is. Check the grounds on the motor too.

Its probably the ecu took a shit on me, im waiting for my buddy to bring my data cables back so i can try to run the ecu program to see whats wrong.

and they dont make a service manual for my car sadly enough :( wish they did but i pretty much know where everything is on it since ive messed with it

i don't want to come across as an asshole, but a service manual exists for your car. Maybe you have modified it a little here or there, but the basic troubleshooting steps you need to take will be in the service manual. I'm not sure what year your car is, but here's a quick google search

Its prolly something dumb. As usual with most cars. I agree with Mike, anyone that plays with their car needs to buy one. :thumbsup: Call me if you wanna b.s. about it, you got my number.
