crank but no fire fixed..UNBELIEVEABLE! (pointer)

So one day for unknown reasons my 97 3.2 cranks but is getting no fire. long story short i check the ignition control module..nope. i check the misfire detetion sensor...nope. i check the main relay...nope. fuel pump...nope. fuel filter...nope. spark plugs...nope. crank sensor...nope. the last thing i check which should have been the first was the ground wire for the ignition control module thats located on the fuel rail...BINGO!! it was loose. tightened it down and it fired right up. 5 days later!..i feel so dumb but very relieved. so if anybody has this problem...crank but no fire no start..check that ground first thing then go from there.
