there is no spark and no injector pulse replaced the crank censor and rotor. Still no spark any suggestions? There is power to coil soon as fuel pump kicks off coil in line wire goes dead.

That really sounds like your Automatic Shut Down relay going bad.

Check the camshaft position sensor. Pulses go to the engine computer any time there is engine rotation, (cranking or running), then the engine computer turns on the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay which sends voltage to the ignition coil(s), injectors, and fuel pump or pump relay.
