can you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key on? if not then you may have a bad asd relay. if you can hear it turn on you may have a bad crank position sensor.

Where is the asd relay?. is there any way to check the asd relay or crank positioning sensor?

the asd relay should be on the drivers side fender. you might be able to swap it with another relay. this will help you test the asd if you have the tools to

if you have fuel but no spark then it is most likely a bad crank position sensor.
