Question No spark sometimes???Why...

Well as the car sits right now i try to start it and it isnt getting spark. The problem started when, two days ago i put all my uim and everything back on cause i just got my injectors back from witchhunters, so i put everything back in and it dosent crank, i check the coil for spark but nothing(I used a screwdriver) and so i got frustrated with it and went in the house, came back out like 10 min later and just for ***** and grins went and tried to crank it and it fired right up. But just again today i went to crank it and it wouldnt crank so i checked for spark with a screwdriver and its not getting any fire..... So wats the deal, what did i do to it during removal and installation of my injectors or is it just pure luck it happened at the same time,

Wat do i need to check and do to get this thing to run...... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wall bash:

let me get this straight every time you say it wouldnt crank you checked for spark (But just again today i went to crank it and it wouldnt crank so i checked for spark) so how did you check for spark if it wasnt cranking did you manually crank the engine or pull the CAS and turn it with the key on I just want to make sure your using the word cranking right as to the engine turning wether it starts or not I am sorry but alot of people use that word wrong, also when you go to turn it on and it doesnt crank do all of the interior lights still work dash and everything? or is it off also, when you go to turn the key was there at least a click sound? I would check battery voltage and pull off the neg. and pos. terminals and clean them first corroded or loose terminals will cause a car to start sometimes and at others do nothing

yes when i say crank i mean im turning the key and the starter is rotating the motor. Its a new battery and terminals, but when I say i check for spark i mean i get my lil bro to crank the car over, and i get a screwdriver and so it that way and it isnt sparking...... and yes all the interior lights are working i think, only thing i did notice was the door beeper(beeps when the door is open)was like on sometimes and then off other times so i dont kno about that
