simple way to check for spark is take the spark plug wire off put a screw driver inside of it and then make sure you put it close to the good ground [ex. valve cover]. Let somebody crank the car if you see sparking arching you have spark.

Cam angle sensor.
I can almost guarantee it.

Had the same thing happen to a friends car.

I would add to the possible cas that perhaps you may be the lucky recipient of leaking Rubicon capacitors which sometimes kill the computer. Cam angle sensors are relatively cheap and I highly recommend one in your tool box. Finding one at the dealer will cause you to puke. Price wise that is. Good Job Karma.

Quoted 790$ canadian at the dealership, that is cost too!
When installing it, make sure you put the dot in the same spot it was in.

Good luck

Where can you buy a Cam Angle Sensor from? (besides a dealership) Does Mach V or a similar place sell them?

On a side note, you might check the MPI fuse? I used to pull mine on my 2g RX7 to get gas to it...maybe yours is blown?
