Test for spark. If no spark, check fuse F4 in the Battery Junction Box (BJB). It supplies power to the coil via the VT/BK wire. You can test for spark by unplugging one of the wires, inserting a screwdriver into the wire boot making connection, placing the screwdriver blade next to a ground, then watching for spark as the engine is cranked.

If power on that line is good AND there is still no spark, you are left with the crank sensor and the PCM as suspects.

If spark is present, try cracking the throttle 1/4 - 1/2 way and see if that helps. If it does, your IAC is not opening at startup, pussibly unplugged.
