2008 Nissan Xterra no start condition?

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had a 2008  Xterra towed in to the shop today. Was told another shop replace the clutch and then it never started again. I have no codes. It will not crank with the key but, I can use a remote starter switch on the starter and it cranks. I have an RPM signal on the scanner but am getting no spark from the coils. Is there a good starting point to check if the other shop did something wrong. In my experience crank sensor gives RPM and spark signal, and cam sensor controls injector pulse.

The clutch switch was bad. I put a jumper wire on the connector, now it cranks but I still have no spark.

I have found the solution. The tone wheel for the crank sensor is on the flywheel, the shop removed the flywheel and did not index it properly. there are 8 bolt and 6 gaps on the flywheel for crank sensor. Cam and crank are not in sync causing a no start condition.
