Car will crank and try to start. when checking spark plugs i am not getting any spark to them. Checked ICM, checked crank sensor, checked alternator, checked computer. I need new ideas.

if you have a tachometer unplug it see if it starts. then take ignition module to auto parts to get checked. check pick up coil for resistance 600-1000 ohms.

I messed up on this one. first scan for codes cross a and b on aldl then see pictures to help with diagnostics. we have had one tip to unplug oil pressure switch see if it will start. also check fuses for being blown. charts will tell you how to diagnose the problem.
