Default No Spark...

Well my car is not getting any spark. The battery had died.. me being an impatient kinda guy rounded up a couple friends and have them give me a push to try and bump start it... it never started so i left it and stuck the battery on charge... now the i go to start teh car and it turns over... but engine does not start. I pull all the plugs all drenched in fuel so i clean em up and put them back in... nothing. So i check all the fuses... found nothing. So i reset the ECU... nothing. I get fuel... but no spark. Any ideas?

Stick each plug wire on your tongue... LOL j/k. Check the connections at the coil pack (The plugs that go in not the plug wires) and see if they are corroded at all. If so then get a flat fingernail file and some electric connector cleaner. Check your battery terminals as well for corrosion and tightness. If they aren't making a good connection it will also inhibit a spark. And finally you can check for leaping sparks. When dark have the hood up and a buddy or family member crank the engine. Watch the plug wires for arcy sparkies coming from the plug wires.

Ok, what if no power is going to the coil pack? What else?

Aparently it cant be the CAS because it wouldnt get fuel if that were the case.
