ok so an update to my xj problem... as i have stated i have to turn my key forward and back multiple times to get the fuel pump and ses light to kick on before it will start, it will crank at all times but now i found that untill the ses light and fuel pump prime it has no spark as well.... so what are your ideas, i replaced ignition switch, checked continuity on the neutral safety switch, and have replaced and tested fuses and ballasts and relays

Check all of your powers and grounds to the pcm, load all of the circuits, instead of a test light use a headlamp bulb, if this is ok check the asd relay in the box, this relay is grounded by the pcm to turn on fuel, coil, inj ect.
