Well i got everything ready to start the car finally. When i turned the key it wouldnt start. I checked and i am not getting a spark from the plugs. I took off the CAS and turned it and i can hear the injectors working. I just cant figure out why its not getting a spark.

get your hands on the FSM and do a diagnostics test and cehck your coils, ignitor and harness etc... you best bet is the diagnostics section of the factory service manual, search for it

If he is hearing his injectors clicking when he turns the CAS by hand, he should get a spark, it is either you have a bad ignitor or you have the wrong plug going onto the ignitor.Do self diagnostics first and see what errors the ecu throws.
