Got a valve job done due to timing belt breaking at 75 mph. After started right up but now doesn't. Cranks but gets no spark to plugs. Swapped out Crankshaft position sensor and camshaft sensor with no fix. Mechanic got it to start by wiggling ignition key and pushing clutch in a couple of times and then couldn't get it to reoccur. Drove it home worked good for 24 hrs and now does same thing with no help from key or clutch. Checked voltages to sensors listed above and seem to be good. Help!

Do you have power to the coil with the key in the run position and the start position?

Thats where I would start then no power to the coil no spark. Did you check to see if you had power to both sides of ignition fuse?
