No Spark

I am working on a Hyster H60XM with the GM 3.0 engine. I cannot get the unit to run and it does not have spark. The ECM is checked and is good. The throttle body and all associate sensors are check and are good. The crank sensor is checked and good. The distrbutor is checked and is good. The ignition coil is checked and is good. Where do I go from here? Thanks in advance for your help.

some trucks will kill ignition if no oil pressure is sensed
check your oil pressure switch and see if its bad or wiring is defective to it.

just thinking outside the box here :)

As bbforks said, check for ignition voltage to be sure switch is good. Also look behind the battery area for a wiring harness going in a black rectangular box. If this box is there, it is a revolutionary switch, which recognizes when the engine is rotating. They hide them well.

Have you checked for power in the ignition circuit while cranking? Could be a bad ignition switch
