Sounds like a security system problem. Check your ASD relay and fuses.

Uh, no. The coil should put out around 30,000 volts and the voltage at the plugs shouldn't be more than 5% less. Change your coil.
Sorry, I reread your post and see that you already have done this. Take out a spark plug and see if you have a good hot spark while cranking. If so, pour a little gas down the throttle body and see if it fires up. If it does, you've got injector problems, either electrical or fuel delivery failure. Is this a 4.0 or a V8? Even though the pump is running, check the pressure at the fuel rail or throttle body. The pump should only run long enough to bring up pressure prior to starting. If it's running constantly, you're not holding pressure.
Your engine isn't running long enough to set a code.

It isnt sparking..ive poured gas down the throttle body it does nothing..the fuel pump jus runs for a few secs like it should..maybe i got a bad coil from the parts store..wont be the first time..im goin to get another one and try it..if ive put a cam sensor crank sensor the coil should be the only thing left right? It jis died on me while i was driving. Could the coil jus go out like that?

Yes, the coil can go just like that. However, for most people it's the crank sensor, which is why you looked at it first. It would be a comedy of errors if your replacement coil was defective as well. The fact that you have voltage to the coil seems to eliminate electrical problems before it.

I honestly don't know enough about it to tell you for sure what to do, so I'm going to pass on this rather than lead you astray.
