For some reason Im not getting spark at all...

Ive checked all my main engine and chasis grounds and they all look secure.

I have also checked out my ignitor/coil packs/ and cas and they are not getting power either.

The 2 diagnostic lights are lighting up on the back of the ecu, but still no spark.

I know my timing is WAY off, but it should still be recieving power regardless, correct?

If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Make sure the big gauge black/red and blue/red wires are hooked together next to the battery tray.

positive? i had the exact same problem. i checked everything. anything to not have to tear apart that part of the harness. i said **** it and tore it apart. i connected my ignition wires wrong. connected them right and fired right up. im telling you, if none of your ignition is getting power then thats your problem. i cant remember completely but one engine had 1 ign. wire, the other had two. the red/blue wire i think was my problem.
