checked all grounds and came back good!

i already replaced the CPS with high hopes :/ but it did nothing.
so i wanna say the cam sensor or distributer cap/rotor? ill take a pic of it apart if you'd want. or maybe the ECM has some kinda shock sensor in it? idk. HELP!!! this is my DD!
he stated it cranksand cranks its got no spark

How high/ far did you go? Not that it has anything to do with your problem, just curious. Any chance of a video of the jump?

just re-checked everything and still nothing still no spark!

my next guesses are:
-ECM gone
-CAM sensor gone
-ignition coil
