car died while driving. No warning or anything. checked fuel pump. am getting fuel to injectors. I am not getting spark at plugs or out of the distributor. I replaced distributor and got the same results. I was told by mechanics that they suspect the crankshaft position sensor. How do I confirm this before changing? Has anyone had any similar experience.

check the coil first, crankshaft sensor may be a pain to change. and i think it would still be getting spark if sensor is going bad
god i hate sensors

Well Make sure your timing belt didn't break.. Open your oil fill cap if it's on the valve cover. If not this won't work, and look in the hole and have someone try to start the van. If you don't see anything moving in there then your timing belt has either broken or sheared the teeth of the belt off in one spot, Or you can take the top bolts out of the timing cover and remove it and look directly at the camshaft pulley to see if it is turning. You also could have jumped time and your belt may be a few teeth off the correct timing.
The Cps Crank position sensor can cause the problem you described. Unplug the sensor. Take a test light and connect it to battery positive. Touch the end of the test light to the wire connection and see if the sensor is internally grounded. If the light lights up then it is. Replace it. The only other way is just to replace the sensor and hope for the best.... Since your car is not running and can't drive it to a shop and have them hook it up to a scanner these are you only options besides a tow to a shop and hope your cars computer tripped a code that says crank position sensor fault. Good luck.

are you putting forward there is not any spark on the coil or on the end of the plug twine?examine more effective than one twine. If that is a laptop automobile the laptop tells it even as or perhaps as now to not fireside. conceivable undesirable connection or undesirable laptop.
