I recently replaced the engine on my car, I also replaced the crank position sensor, knock sensor. When I crank the vehicle I am getting no spark to the plugs. I have power going to the ignition control module. I have check grounds, changed coil packs. What else could cause no spark?

At first I had a knock sensor code, replaced it and code went away. That was the only one that showed up. I am about to change the cam positioning sensor and see if that works.

Check fuses underhood and dash proior to changing parts. Then check resistance of cam sensor as it may be ok then take ignition module to auto parts and see if tha tis good. They can check it.
