Engine cranks, I got fuel pressure, injectors pulsing, CAS works but i'm not getting any spark.

Been searching the forum for the past 3 weeks for a solution but everything I have read and tried hasn't fixed the issue.

Check your ignitor.The FSM has a procedure to check it.

Make sure you have good groundsThats what F'd me up.

If you don't have the FSM, then you suck.But... there's hope, you can find it in the FAQ section.

I'm getting power to the coils now but my tach is still jumping around. It's attempting to start but falls on it's face.

A tach pegging like that is a classic symptom of a lifted ground somewhere whether a ground on the intake manifold or the negative battery terminal or a bad negative battery to body ground....etc.
