No crank - as in you turn the key and nothing happens? Or - does it turn over but just not start? Which engine? How do you know there's no spark?

it turns over just doesn't start.. 4.6 L V8 ..... it seems there is no spark..... spark plugs were very dirty it was time to replace them so I did. Checked all fuses and no codes come up

Have you used a spark tester? Do you have fuel pressure?

How much fuel pressure did it have? It needs at least around 28lbs. to start.

How did you check the codes? with a reader? If there is a P1000 code your computer may not be getting power. My PCM relay was bad causing my 02 to intermittently crank but not start.
