Stopped car and it would not restart. Motor turns over. Have compression in all cylinders. Have replaced crank senser. Have replaced coil packs and pcm. Still no spark. Where do I look next?

Welcome to the forum. What is the litre size of engine? Did you check primary voltage to the ignition module? Did you visually check for spark at the plugs?

You said you changed the pcm, was that a misprint? I'd check the circuits at the ignition control module, first. The coil pack plugs into the ignition module. Pink wire is voltage, goes hot with the key on. Black wire is ground. The purple wire with white tracer carries rpm signal to computer. With engine cranking, that wire has a pulse on it. Without rpm signal, it won't start.
