I have a 1998 ford windstar 3.8 that recently quit starting. I have a good battery and a starter that wants to turn it over however I don't seem to be getting a spark, what can I do now to get it going?

It sounds like the crankshaft angle sensor has gone out which is common, here is the location so you can change it out at the front of the engine by the balancer. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what happens.
