I have a 98 ford contour se with a 2.5 and 70000 miles. It was running fine and the next day it wouldn't start so i did the usual checks and found that it had no spark so i called the dealer and was told it could be the cam or crank sensor or even the coil pack . so now that i have replaced all of that and rechecked the fuses i still have no spark so what do i do at this point?

Do this crank it over while listening to the injector/s is it clicking?

Could be that the computer is not recieving the crank/cam signal and therefore not telling the ICM to fire the coil.

However if it is a cam or crank sensor how do i get it to recognize the new ones or why won't it on it's own? And is there anything else it could be?
