My 96 cobra will crank but won't start. I am just now getting the car back together so this weekend was supposed to be it's first start up in quite some time. I checked and I don't have any spark.

What do I check? Could it be something that was forgotten about in the start up tune that my tuner gave me that is causing it not to have any spark? Could it be a PATS problem, or would the car not even crank over if that was the case?

I'm dying to get this car up and running, and I'm so close. I'm fairly confident in my mechanical abilities, and my brother in law and I checked and re-checked everything we could think of: all fuses, wiring harness/electrical connections, etc. but nothing.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
