No spark solution
For everyone who is having a no spark issue with their GC. I may have found a solution.
First when you turn your key to start does the check engine light come on and then go off like a normal start?
If not keep the key to the on position without cranking the engine, and wait to here the ASD relay to start clicking. once that stops your CEL will flash on and then go out.
Wait about 2 more min and she should fire right up for you.
This is the problem i had with mine. a computer from the junk yard fixed if for about 2 weeks and now its slowing starting to come back i have to leave the key in run for about 30 seconds before the CEL will go through the sequence.
Now its back to troubleshooting to see what is causing the computers to fry like that as i can not afford to put a new computer in every so often

Do you have any fault codes stored (pending) in your PCM? Not all trouble codes will trigger a CEL.

no the CEL does not go through its normal cycle until after the ASD relay stops clicking. After the first troubleshooting i thought it was just a bad PCM however like you said something is causing it to fry
You can hear the ASD relay clicking as its quite loud. It does not click under normal conditions only with this problem.
