Check for applicable mil codes. I'm not sure of engine litre size. I looked at 3.0. If there is no spark at plugs, did you check primary voltage at the coil? Engine cranking, dark green wire with orange tracer should be hot. That voltage comes from the asd relay,but, if the computer doesn't see the cam and crank signal, it may not ground the asd relay. I'd want to check for the cam and crank signals before suspecting the relay.
