1998 Camaro - wont start

tryin to find out why my girlfriends v6 99 automatic Camaro wont start. It's all stock other than a muffler. basically, the car turned on for a few seconds (15 or so) and then just shut off. Now, it only turns over but I'm not getting any spark, atleast, with two of the coils. Havent checked the third but the odds are that two going out at the same time is extremely slim. But I'll check that tomorrow. The fuel pump does turn on btw. It's not the VATS either, I disabled that. The closest I read on a search was the PCM ignition and battery fuses. Where would those be located? What else can it be?

Just so you guys know, this forum seems to lack in the participation department. Im just posting now, so when one of you guys does a search, atleast some info will come up.

I tried to pull codes, but there werent any. I figured was most likely either the crankshaft sensor or the ignition module. The crankshaft sensor seemed much more difficult to just check so I went with the ignition module. Since it was easily reachable. Got that off the car, went to an autozone to check it, and yes, it was bad.

Bought a new one, installed it, fixed.
