Bone Stock 1996 KA24DE Won't Start

[venom_5]

So I have had my 1996 240SX SE with an automatic KA24DE for 10 years now, and about 3 years ago it started to develop an air leak that got worse and worse until it started affecting idle. So about 2 years ago, I parked the car at a friends house for him to repair the intake manifold gasket (the culprit of the leak). Otherwise, the car started up and ran fine and I drove it weekly.

Fast forward two years, and the intake manifold gasket was replaced a couple of weeks ago and now all of this is happening and the car wont start:

> Car will crank, but does not fire - based on pulling a spark plug and using the ole screwdriver trick, its not getting any ignition
> IACV (i think) makes a super loud ticking noise from the back of the engine
> OBD-II port gives power to a scanner but the scanner cannot make any connection
> Used a noid light today on one of the injectors with no response, so may not be getting distributor signal to ignition OR fuel
> Attempted to use a voltage probe for the 2-pin and 6-pin connectors on the dizzy, the 2-pin connector is showing 11.6V on the red/black wire, i was told to test the white/black wire on the 6-pin connector for 12V but i was only getting like 2V with the key in the on position (i believe this is pin # 2 out of the 6)
> There is a strange clicking coming from under the dashboard when you turn the key and the car is trying to start

It is also worth noting that the car has a Viper alarm system, i thought maybe that could have some feature that kills ignition but wouldn't explain the rest of it

Any Ideas?
