I checked for spark with a spark test and there is no spark, but a test light works. Replaced Crankshaft sensor with an OEM part. Getting 5v of both power (blue) and signal (green) wire. I also tried spraying starter fluid into the intake, to eliminate fuel system to be an issue. It did not start. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated.

The first thing we need to do is check the fuses here is a guide that will help and the fuse locations in the diagrams below, please check the fuses with the systems on.

If the fuse is okay, I would disconnect the MAF sensor because when they have a problem the computer will not turn the ignition system on. Let's run the codes as well by doing a CAN scan, you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a guide to help:

If no codes come up, I have seen the IPDM go out causing this issue. Here is the location of the sensor and how to replace the IPDM as well, #12. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find.
