Ignition is out... Any ideas?

We just finished a build on my car about a week ago and while i was driving home last night and the car turned off... No spark


We checked all the fuses... swapped spark plugs and coil packs, didnt work....

Something electrical is acting up and its beyond me....


HELP!


Cheers!

Bad ground? Will the car even turn over?

cars is turning over... so were 99% sure its no mechanical....


We have a dli plugged up as well and the dli is turning on so its seeing power...


we tested the coil pack by pulling it and sticking a plug in it then grounding it.... we tested on a friends car and it worked, not working on mine...

Are you throwing any codes, like the crank angle position sensor or camshaft position sensor?

If you arent any codes, you've tested continuity to the coils and the coils themselves, it's the DLI.

You might find THIS useful

Try bypassing the DLI. They are notorious for having issues. I believe the harness itself is what goes bad. Unplug the DLI harness from the coil packs and factory harness and then plug the factory harness on the coils and see if you get it fired.

have you tried bypassing the DLI2? It's easy and will at least rule it out.
