Long story short, I had no compression. I installed a different engine, and added a grass gasket, timing belt, water pump, and tensioner. After installing the engine, but before putting on the alternator, belts, motor mounts, radiator and condenser, I tried starting it. It wouldn't, and I got a p0340 fault. Did some checking, found out I had the coil pack wire, and cam position wire crossed. I put them where they belong, and it started right up. I only let it run for about 5 seconds. So I finish installing everything, now it won't start. No faults, only thing I can find is I have no spark! It's an 02 sxt auto

Do you have power at the center wire on the coil connector?

All the fuses good in the PDC?

make sure you have all your grounds connected. i had that issue when i replaced my engine in my duster

Yes, I have power to the center wire, for a second or 2, then it goes out. I tried a different coil pack, didn't help

sounds like an ASD issue

Where is that, and what do I do

I tried 2 relays from my Srt4 in the asd relay spot, still nothing

Just a slight possibility, is the small black capacitor plugged in on the back of the head? Driver side. If it is, unplug it. They have been known to short to ground.

here's a list of everything that's listed in the FSM under "engine cranks does not start"

POSSIBLE CAUSES

NO START PRE-TEST
POWERTRAIN FUSES OPEN
FUEL PRESSURE OUT OF SPECS
RESTRICTED FUEL SUPPLY LINE
FUEL PUMP INLET STRAINER PLUGGED
FUEL PUMP MODULE
FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSED B+ CIRCUIT
FUEL PUMP RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
FUEL PUMP RELAY
FUEL PUMP GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
FUEL PUMP MODULE
5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
CKP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
CKP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED GROUND
CKP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
CKP SENSOR SIGNAL SHORTED TO 5 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
IGNITION COIL
IGNITION COIL DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN
IGNITION COIL DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
PCM - COIL
PCM - CKP SENSOR SIGNAL

now i know you don't have a DRBIII and this is technically out of a NGC FSM, but this should help a little. here's the steps to fix it. i put a line between each step to seperate them and a double line between each test that is relevant. notice at the end it says to do a powertrain test, which says to do a trans test, which says to do a powertrain test, which says to do a trans test, etc. use common sense... you don't have to keep going in circles

TEST

1 Note: The following list of items must be checked before continuing with
any no start tests.
The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. A low charged battery may
produce invalid test results. If the battery is low, charge the battery and then attempt
to start the vehicle by cranking the engine for 15 seconds, 3 consecutive times.
This will allow any DTC’s to set that may have been erased due to a dead battery.
Ensure the Powers and Ground to the PCM are ok.
Make sure the PCM communicates with the DRBIIIt and that there are no DTC’s
stored in the PCM memory. If the PCM reports a No Response condition, refer to the
Communication category for the proper tests.
Read the PCM DTC’s with the DRBIIIt. If any DTC’s are present, they must be
repaired before continuing with any other No Start diagnostic tests. Refer to the
Symptom list for the related P-code that is reported by the PCM.
Ensure that the PCI bus is functional. Attempt to communicate with the Instrument
Cluster and SKIM, If you are unable to establish communicate refer to the
Communication category for the proper symptoms.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System must be operating properly. Check for proper
communication with the DRBIIIt and check for DTC’s that may be stored in the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). repair the DTC(s) before continuing.
If no DTC’s are found, using the DRBIIIt select Clear PCM (Batt Disconnect).
Crank the engine several times. Using the DRBIIIt, read DTC’s. If a DTC is present
perform the DTC diagnostics before continuing.

data must be updated. Refer to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM and the
Transponder (ignition key) for programming information.
5. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected properly.
6. Inspect the engine oil for fuel contamination. Replace the oil and filter as necessary.
7. Attempt to start the engine.
8. If the No Start condition is still present, refer to the symptom list and perform the diagnostic
testing as necessary. refer to and Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
9. Run the engine for one warm-up cycle to verify operation.
10. With the DRBIIIt, confirm that no DTCs or Secondary Indicators are present and that all
