Default OFAB, first start no spark

Hey guys, got my wiring harness back today, all the continuity on the wires seem fine. When the ignition is turned i get the clicks from the relays and the pump powers on, then powers off until the engine is cranked. It smells like there is fuel being pushed through the injectors (thou havent checked properly yet). but i have no spark.
What are the common causes of no spark? Hopefully there is something simple i can check incase it is that!

Will it not spark if the voltage drops below a certain amount? The engine will crank over but rather slowly tbh as the batt hasnt been charged in a few months.

Thanks in advance!
Regards, Mudge

If it's crancking over you have enoguh power for sparks.
I would recheck connections again first.

Hey, i checked the connections, all seems fine apart from 2 pins on the EDIS module that dont seem to lead anywhere! Does that sound right?

Hey guys, quick update.

The injectors fire when it is cranked so that shows that the CPS is working. I replaced the EDIS module and still no luck. There is no spark on any of the cylinders, so must it be a wiring fault??
What do i need to check next??

Many thanks, Mudgey
