Default My boosted Z' backs fire and engine stop?

Hi guys,I was driving and my z backfire, lights in the dashboard went off, engine stop.. and I check the fuese for the ecu behind the battery and they are all good, some people tell me to check the crank sensor but even if that was bad it wount prevent the car from starting cause the cam sensor kicks in and the car woud start..I m not getting any spark in my spark plugs though!
I did change the timing belt cover recently and I dint touch, bang anything.
Car was running very good (Boosted) the diagnostic says it was running (lean) and now I cant find the problem.The engine turns fine but it wont start cause im not getting any spark..Im runing with a Reflash comp.
Thank You for your imput!

First off if you replaced a timing belt cover you might want to go back and see what you really replaced because our cars dont have timing belts or their covers...

I was only playin man but you can see how that can throw someone off by putting the wrong info? Anyways do you have a code reader? first you need to find out if there are any codes that have been thrown.

Could be a lean misfire? But that wouldnt cause no spark. Are you using a full scanner or just a code reader?
