i was thinking maybe your timing chain, but you said you're getting fuel. hmmm... no spark, eh? have you replaced the plugs/wires? maybe your coils are bad. i dunno, i'm just throwing stuff out there.

I took the Accel Coils off and put the stock coils back on and still no spark.

[b]I was hooking the SMT5 piggyback unit up in the car. I used the TPS (t'ed) , front O2 Sensor(t'd), MAP sensor (intercepted), and the cam sensor (t'ed). Once I did this the car wouldn't start. so I disconnected the unit and now the car won't start either.
I thought the SMT5 wanted a motronic signal for timing. That means you should have hooked it up to the crank position sensor, not the Cam Position sensor. The Cam Position sensor only sends a "home" event once every 2 crank rotations (720 degrees)

The car will start wthout TPS and 02 sensor. I would quadruple check the MAP sensor and CAM sensor wires. Make sure a signal is getting PAST your wire work.

If I had to guess, I would put my money on the Cam Position Sensor. Since you say you are NOT getting spark, that means ignition/timing...which would be the Cam Position sensor. Needless to say, also check all fuses in the engine compartment and passenger compartment.
