Crankshaft sensor?? Check wiring harness. There are many suggestions on how to check the CPS so just check around this forum for something helpful. It's a huge pain and you risk dropping bolts into your crankshaft housing.

are you sure you have spark check it with and extra plug or screwdriver

Theres a black cap on the fuel rail. Turn the key over and push in the valve under the cap. Dont stand in front of it cuz fuel will shoot out if you have flow. If you do then pull out one spark plug and ground it to the block while someone turns it over. You should see spark. If not , check for a loose wire on the starter, battery,and so on. Good luck.

Yeah I have fuel but no spark and I just replaced the coil 2 weeks ago. But Im not out trying anything due to rain

unplug the coil and check with a test light to verify you are getting power to it

Might try checking rotor and cps for power
