I have a 1990 oldsmobile delta 88 with the 3800 engin, and the car ran perfect the night before and i parked it. The next morning I went to leave and the car didn't have spark on any cylinder, and its not throwing any engine codes. I replaced the crank sensor after this happened. Why aren't I getting any spark?

It sounds like you lost a fuse or the ignition module which go out all the time. Here is a diagrams to show you where the module is if the fuses are all good.

I have a 1990 olds delta 88 royale, and the car ran perfect before replacing the harmonic balancer, then it wouldn't get fire so I replaced the crank sensor, then the cam sensor. I'm stuck after checking relays, and fuses, and chasing wires. Then I did the module worked like a charm!
