So heres the preceeding events:

Brothers car

Oil seals blow on turbo, burns oil bad, brother takes car out on highway, and it just dies on him.

We get it towed back to my house. Less than a quart of oil drains out...

I put new oil in, new filter

Car still cranks over. Timing is still spot on

-MPI Relay is working just fine
-Test on coil connector = 61.3 on both terminals 1 and 2
-CEL comes on for 5 seconds like normal, along with other lights
-Power transistor had no continuity between 1&3 and 3&8, but didn't do 1.5v battery test.
-New plugs

Problem? No spark to plugs. I'm a bit confused. Iv been around the block with dsm's. Took me two weeks to diagnose a bad sensor ground in my old one.

There was very fine metal in the oil. No big chunks. Maybe a couple 2 mm shavings. I can get a picture up.

Car doesn't seem to be locked, although obvious bearing surface damage was done.

Ill grab an OBD-2 scanner tomorrow to look for possible codes.

So whats with the no spark? Ideas?

any guesses??
