2004 pt cruiser, changed timing belt, head gasket, put back together, no spark. Any ideas

Engine cranking, check primary voltage to ignition coil, dark green wire with orange tracer. Use a test light. That is the same voltage circuit for fuel injectors. That voltage comes from asd relay. I'm not saying the relay is faulty. The computer has to see both the cam and crank sensors signals or it won't ground the relay.
Could be other issues? You did visually check for spark at the spark plugs?
Any applicable trouble codes?

2003 PT Cruiser

Crank sensor controls fuel not sprark. Check the cam sensor, this sensor is usually on the head of the engine. Check for this sensor on the top left or right sides of the engine (it depends if turbo/none turbo). Another issue that may cause no spark is failed ignition coil. The ignition coil is on top of the engine, with 4 wires routing to the spark plugs. Hopefully this helps!!
