Default no spark

I have a 2004 Tribute 2.0 that I am getting no spark. The crank sensor and coil pack have been changed out. Looking for ideas of where I can go next. I have checked the wire connections for corrosion that the no spark no crank service bulletin say to check. Car does spin over and is getting fuel.

Are there any codes in the PCM? There is an ignition relay, left underdash i believe. Though i have never seen a bad one. Lots of possibilities. Ignition switch/theft system activated/PCM/jumped timing belt/wiring/a short causing the ignition module in the PCM to shut down/etc. There has to be a code in the PCM though.

There are no codes the vehicle sat up for over a year. I bought it from someone for 300 dollars. They said it ran fine, but the manual trans was gone. I haven't been able to work on it lately, but today I saw that it is getting a very weak spark. Maybe the new coil is bad.

I found the coil was good. Side note the a/c compressor was shot. With the drive belt on the vehicle, spark was very weak and wouldn't allow it to start. Took the drivebelt off and it cranked right up. I replaced the a/c compressor, dryer, and orfice tube and have not had a running issue since.
