Put 3 new relays in and it still doesn't get spark when the fuel pump gets power. I'm thinking either it's wiring or the computer is messed up.

It also pulls a bunch of codes about stuff being shorted to ground with the relay in.

Yep it does sounds like the PCM is bad, lets try a rebuilt/used unit to see what happens. Also did you use the wiring diagrams in the post I left, how did it turn out?

So now it has got to the point where I can't even connect my code reader to the car. Can I get a PCM out of a pull a part and put it in and it work if its a good one or would I have to have it flashed?

Most of the time a used one will work, but you can order a rebuild unit and give them your VIN to be sure. Let me know

Yep, same numbers and it might need to be programmed to the car. Some used ones will work but it is not 100%.

We must have missed something. Lets start over. Does the engine crank over? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Yes it cranks over. I have all 3 versions of the fuel pump relay and tried them all. 2 coil packs and tried them both. 2 crank sensors and tried them both. 3 ignition switches and tried them all. The coil gets power but not putting out spark. I just dont get it. I'll add a video when I get a chance to take one.

Does the engine have compression will it run on starting fluid?
It did run on starting fluid but I haven't tried it in a while. I'm going to mess with the fuses some more and see what happens.

So fuses still don't change anything. Was able to get it to stumble a little bit on starting fluid. I'm starting to think maybe it has a fuel problem instead or both since it's hard to get it to start on starting fluid.

It sounds like it has compression so don't worry about that. Can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds when the key is turned on without cranking the engine over?

Yes the fuel pump kicks on. Everything is doing what its supposed to do except I can't see any spark. The coil pack is getting the power and everything it needs to work but it doesn't.

Unless the plugs and wires are bad and that is why there's no spark.

Checked power to fuses again and there is no power to fuse 32 with key on. Could this be my problem?
