Question SL2 no spark?

Hello, my 2001 SL-2 recently died while in reverse and would not restart. Motor getting gas, TBS new, battery new, new wires, new CPS and Coolant Temp Sensor and plugs changed last September, ICM passes testing, but no spark from coil pack. I tested everything I could think of, but now I'm lost at what could be the problem.. any feedback or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

no CPS signal inhibits spark

if no spark on either coil tower, try CPS first
(yes I know it's new)

Sorry guys.. I thought it was the CPS and changed it to no avail. Turns out both coils were under spec and it had a blown EIS fuse. I overthought it a bit. I have it running now.

Oops, maybe I'm not done. That EIS fuse blew twice today, now time to find the short circuit/ ground fault/ whatever.
