The ecotec motor have no distributor.
If there is no spark it can be either the coils,DFI module,CAS,EFI relay

i read on another post about a v6 commodore not startin guy said he cleaned terminals n it started fine

I am guessing you are talking about the DFI module plug. If so give it a go and see what happens. Other wise what i said before.

did you wait for it to flash 3 times, alot of people forget this. if its not starting it should have logged an error. have ou disconnected the battery recently? If it worked for them it may work for you. check battery and electrical connections are tight and then try replacing the DFI module.

Ecotec in a vr?
So its had a engine conversion?
How trustworthy was the fella that you got it off? Might have a fauly plug somewhere.
