Default 96 No Spark 3.9L

Heres the hole story. I started the truck one cold morning and with in 5 seconds the truck died. Afterwards it would not start at all. I checked and found there was no spark from the coil. Since I hadn't done a tune up in quite a while, I bought and replaced the Coil along with the Cap, Rotor, and Pickup Module. Still no luck! There was no DTCs, and I checked and there was no power to the coil, before, during, and after attempting to start. I swapped the AutoShut Down relay, and still no luck!! I also found the wire harness splice, which didn't look bad, but I went ahead and redid it. Still no luck! I went and bought a remanufactured PCM. Still no luck!!![sm=headbang.gif]

Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED

Check all the grounds, particularly the one on the block, also check battery connections, and alternator. My brother in law couldn't get anything out of an old chevy he had, turns out it was the main ground and the battery connections were all corroded, took the terminals off, used a wire brush on the terminals and the block connection,and cleaned it up had it running good.
My Saturn had a problem with the alternator that caused this, wasn't putting out enough to charge battery, therefore battery went dead, no more power
Good luck, jope this helps
