The engine cranks, but won't turn over. Ihave fuel pressure but no spark to any of the plugs. I suspect the camshaft/crankshaft sensors, but not sure if the coil pack could be the culprit. How do I check it?

"Crank" and "turn over" are the same thing. I'm assuming you mean it's cranking since you're checking for spark. The best thing to do is measure the voltage on the dark green / orange wire to the coil pack or any of the injectors. You should find battery voltage for one second after the ignition switch is turned on, then it should come back during engine cranking. If it doesn't come back during cranking, the cam and crank sensors are definite possibilities. The cam sensor is the more common one but if the Check Engine light is on there may be a diagnostic fault code that will point the problem circuit.
