Crankshaft position sensor has probably failed.

See if you can get the car scanned for fault codes, and go from there.

Thanks but I live 20k's out of town so getting it to a dealer to read the codes is not an option. Where would i find this sensor pls and is there any other way to see if it is working.?Ok I know where the sensor is now (google) but would this sensor not working cause no spark?

Yes, the ECU has no idea where the crank is. Game over.
