Ok, so we just bought a 95 gsx with 80k on it.... BUT it has been sitting for the better part of 5years. (only paid $1300) So here is our issue: Car cranks but won't turn over. We changed plugs, wires and replaced the old battery, checked for spark but none on any cylinder. So pulled the control module off of the wife's gsx and still nothing. We know her's work because she drives the car almost daily. After this we noticed that the camshaft sensor behind the cam gears was broken.

A friend of ours did some research and informed us that the camshaft, crankshaft, fuel and coils are on the same circuit ? So since that sensor is broken I won't get spark.... sounds odd to me. Obviously that sensor will get replaced and the timing redone.... any other suggestions are welcome.

I did a compression test had 0 on 2 cylinders and right around 155 on the other 2. I kind of figured I would have a few issues after that but the only way to tell is to tear it down. When I get to the shop tomorrow I'll take a few pics and put them up.
