Default 99 3.8 l v6 camaro no crank no spark, going in circles

In the spring I replaced the spark plugs plug wires coil packs and ICM and it ran fine for a couple months then one day my car overheated rapidly as I was trying to accelerate and it wouldn't go right away and then it the tires broke free. after that it had a miss. Then another day the car was really jerky as if it was I was stalling it out but it’s an automatic and it kept dying when we turned and i'm pretty sure I lost power steering as well, my fuel pump is pushing out 45lb of pressure so I know it's not that, we also did a battery reset on the computer that didn't seem to do much. I replaced the crankcase position sensor after that, but there is no spark in 1 and 4 from the coil but it is brand new and if you switch it around it works. and I found another forum that led me to the ecu, but I cant flash it with my tool because the car has to be running.
There is basicly a brand new ingition system other than the key switch. Would not start with starting fluid either.

I moved your thread to the 4th gen general section for you. new members section is for introductions not tech questions. I suggest you download the factory service manual and do some reading. having the car scanned for codes is a good idea to start out.
