Default Help, Truck won't start. PCM?

OK, after waiting 2 months for Texas speed to fix the reluctor in my stroker (backwards), we installed the motor last weekend. I drove it home with no problems. But, I went out to start tuning later and it wouldn't start. I'm not getting any spark. And, the plugs are dry, so the injectors aren't firing either.

I have changed tunes. Checked grounds. Done the VATS relearn.

I have searched all day long with no results. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Was the trip home the only time it was driven since the swap?
Does your tuning software allow you to monitor the injectors and spark during cranking?

No, we started it and drove it 4-5 times before taking it home.

I have HPTuners. I'm not sure if it scans spark or not. It will show inj pulse though, so I'll check that. For the spark I just put a plug agaist the header.

It was a stupid ground that we thought we had checked.

Yeah, but it's amazing how frustrating something like that can be!
