Default Need Help, Car Won't Start, No Spark!


So another problem with my car that keeps my from driving it. I programmed every component in the car, everything works good so far.
The problem that I have is that when I try to start the car, it cranks, but does not start. I installed a new starter and the battery was fully charged. So then i pulled one of the spark plugs with the coil and cranked the engine, so it turned out i have no spark.

Any help, thoughts or opinions from you guys are greatly appreciated(sleepwalker)

Thanks

it is better to read the fault code first than doing trial and error.

the ignition is electronicaly controlled, and there is no way of knowing now what causes the problem. it can be crankshaft position sensor, ME control unit or some loose connectors.

have started the engine already before?

i already talked to the guy that programmed it today, he said that he programmed it and that spark is electronically enabled when the engine cranks at ceratin RPM's???? Is this true?? My engine still cranks, but maybe at around 200 rpms, (i can tell by my needle on instrument cluster).

Can it be the coilpacks????
