Bought the car a month ago. It ran fine at first, but within a few days had intermittent starting problems then would not start at all. Cranks but will not start. There is no voltage to the coil pack, thus no spark. Have changed the crankshaft position sensor but still same problem.

Are you looking for the 12 volts to the ignition coil while cranking the engine? Have you read the diagnostic fault codes? Do you know how to do that by cycling the ignition switch? The camshaft position sensor can also cause a crank / no start.
