Default NEED HELP FAST ELECTRIC PROBLEM

I just finished my ZC/Z6 mini me and I started it perfect, I rolled around 2 days and today I decided to change my oil just in case. I do it and then I turn it on and let it warm up a little then rev it up some and suddenly it dies, now I have no spark and the engine just turns but doesnt start.

I have tried changing the ecu, coil, ignitor, whole dizzy, what could it be????

thanks in advance (no its not the alarm)

checklist:

fuel: out of gas? check fuel pressure?
spark: check for spark at the end of plug wires?
air: im sure you have air

check main relay


have you searched? there are soooooo many "engine doesnt start" topics it will flood my hatch.
im just throwing out whatever that might cause a engine not to start, good luck.

if you dont have a spark, take off the timing belt cover and have someone turn the motor over, if the belt doesnt turn then you have problems. My neighbors car had the same symptoms and like it would crank but not start and he had fuel and everything but a spark, took his belt cover off and his timing belt would slip on the gear so now hes replacing his **** cus some kind of pin or something fell out, oh yeah its a chrsyler laberon so who cares

I changed the main relay and still nothing.

I took out the spark plug wires and checked them for spark and nothing, not even with a screwdriver inside of them touching a ground wire.

WHAT COULD THIS BE PLEASE HELP

Im sure someone has gone through this, please help.

Theres is no spark what so ever and I have tried diferent coils and ignitors but maybe its something else in the dizzy.

I changed the ecu to a p28 I had layiong around and is good and I also changed the main relay, still nothing.

What car is this in? did you have to do any wiring for the Mini me? are you using the right dizzy? are you getting power to the dizzy? test light might end up to be your friend
