Good morning,

I attached a wire diagram for you to view for the ignition system. This is what controls spark.

There are three fuses in the system. use a test light and verify power on both sides of the fuse with the key on.

A couple of possibilities that are common are

1. Crankshaft position sensor.

2. Ignition coil.

3. ECM power relay.

4. PCM failure

All these need to be checked to see if they are working.
