well i tested the wires going into the coils with a voltometer while someone cranked the engine and it read zero. So apparently theres nothing getting to the coils. I was thinking that maybe a relay went vad or something.

check your connection to the crank angle sensor. it's somewhere below the fuel pressure regulator. a wire harness plugs into the lower crank pulley cover. the wiring to the crank angle sensor is integrated into the lower crank pulley cover.

ok i rented a OBD II reader and it said that "crankshaft position sensor A circuit malfunction". then erased the code and attempted to start it again but it didnt turn on. then i scanned it again and the same code came up. A former mechanic told me that it was probably my ECU and that i might just need to get it reflashed. Ima try to get that crankshaft position sensor first and then see what happens.

The relay that powers the crank position sensor is this one:
You can test it by unplugging this 3-wire connector and checking for +12v between the center wire (red/yellow) and ground when the key is ON.
Connector:
If you get voltage to that pin on the connector, the relay is good.

Well hate to open ths can of worms, but I am having the same problem. I am getting spark from one of the coils packs and not the other one. Are you getting spark at all to either? My car has been sitting in the garage for almost two weeks awaiting parts.
