Car overheated, blew head gasket. Also stopped running at the same time. Replaced head gasket. Engine cranks but will not run. No spark at at spark plugs. Replaced coil pack still no spark. Also replaced asd relay, no spark. Code reader reads NO CODES my repair manuel says it cold be cam sensor or crank sensor. But does not show how to check the. How do you test these two sensors?

Yes but have not done this kind of work in 20 years. If possible can you keep it simple.

I can't find the ohms specs on them what I would do is measure reslstance of both of your and then go measure some new ones and see how they compare. Usually when they test bad they will test as a open. Circuit.
