My 1988 Buick Regal cut off while driving 55 mph and won't start. I checked the fuel pump and it is OK. There is no spark? I'm thinking ignition module, or camshaft sensor, but I don't want to start throwing parts at it. How do I determine if these ar the problem?
Thanks for any imput.

With the vehicle cranking, is there an injector pulse? If you have an injector pulse, then the crank sensor should be ok.

During cranking, without an rpm signal, the pump won't run.

Can you check for codes?
