Angry My 95 Sport wont start..

I parked it last night, it was running fine. Tried to start it an hour later and it turns over but no spark to the distributer. I just spent an hour replacing the ignition coil and still no spark. Any Ideas as to what I should try next? I checked the fuel pressure, it's good. It was raining in Mass for the last month so maybe it's the CPS (crank position sensor)? Where the hell is that?

probably the cps it on the bellhousing on the top its a son of a #### to get at but you will see it down there you need a long extension and swivel to get it off

Before you replace the CPS try first unpluging it and re pluging it in sounds stupid but this usually works , if that doesn't use a long extension and tap the CPS a couple times and try it. Mine was internitant for years before I replaced it the un plug trick always worked. Just a thought
