Engine died while driving. Cranks over but will not start. No spark at dist from coil. Turn key on 12 volts to coil then goes to zero at both wires at coil. Notice 2nd relay from top on driver fender clicks a second or 2 after key turned on. Voltage seems to go to zero at coil when relay clicks. Disconnect wires at relay and no voltage at all at coil. Think this relay has something to do with. 12, 37 codes are thrown when I check codes. Also when cranking engine no voltage at coil wires

Sounds like you're talking about the ASD relay that powers the coil -try swapping it with a like one or replace it for good measure

Ok thanks I will try and let you know.
Could it also be the crank senser?
I have read a few things and founf that sometimes the crank sersor can do the same. Trying to get some parts from the junkyard to try.
