2001 S80 2.9l continues to crank but doesnt turn on
Before i start i just want to confess i searched everything about these S80s regarding starting issues and tried everything i could think of.
Problem: The car only cranks but doesnt catch and start. It continues to crank for however long i want it to crank. but nothing else. That rules out the starter
Things ive done
-Checked for spark. With the coilpack out i checked to see if i could see it arching to the flat head i had by it... saw a faint spark. Am i suppose to see something brighter?
-Replaced spark plugs - Didnt help
-Replaced Camshaft sensor (was getting P0014 and found it might be caused by that) Didnt help much
-Replaced Crank sensor - Still doesnt start
-Checked the fuel pressure at the rail and say ~50psi when the pumps are priming.
-Checked all fuses in the engine bay and the ones in the trunk. Looked good.
-Cleaned the electronic trottlebody since it was filthy. and made sure there wasnt any crazy oil build up. I replaced the oil canister some 30k miles ago.
-Timing belt and other pulleys/belts replaced maybe 5k miles ago.
What else should i check for?
Any help would be appreciated

How do you check if the ECM is getting power? read the pinouts?
I was thinking it could be the immobilizer however im not getting an immobilizer message on the dash and the car turns. oh and ive tried disconnecting the battery. I actually had it out of the car (charging) since i ended up draining much of the battery cranking it.
Update: I checked for spark again, this time all 6 coil packs and it seems like im getting weak spark on 1 or 2 of the coilpacks and no spark on one. Will need to check again once i charge the battery since it was weak again from all the cranking.
