Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
What year, engine and gearbox is the car? as members will need to know to look up things. If you can post the RPO number found on the tyre pressure sticker it may help. Good luck. 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
Have you checked if the key is being recognised by the immobiliser ? Leave it in the ignition and open the driver's door - most cars give a warning message but if it is not recognised you may not get one.

Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
Did you remove the flywheel as part of the rebuild as the crank sensor ring is mounted behind it, you would not be the first person to forget to refit it or plug sensor in as its tucked down at the rear or the engine

Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
Can you seen engine RPM on live data?
Do you know if you are getting a switching signal at the injectors?
Was it running immediately before the engine rebuild?

Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
Did the engine run before you did all the recent work on it ? If you delete the fault codes do they all come back ?

Yes the engine did run before ! I did clear the codes and they all came back.

Re: Citroen DS4 has no spark
Possibly some wiring is not connected back or the engine timing is not right.
Have you tried something like easy start to eliminate fuel problems as a fault ?
If convinced the spark plugs are not getting power then you could try anther coil pack after checking its wiring is in good order.
