OK, spent 2-3 hours reading no spark threads. One big weakness of forum post starters is they lobby for input, advice, etc. and get a lot of it with specific things to try and rarely does the originator of the thread reply back in the end to give feedback on the actual cause/ cure.
Anyhow, here is where I stand. Was driving and had not changed anything on car for weeks. All the sudden car died. trailered it home to find no spark. Removed all plugs and have no spark on any cylinders/ plugs. So from the searching I checked to find 11.3V (note not 12.2 as is on the battery) on the coil pack and also on the Cam sensor. I also had 5V on 1 pin of the cam sensor. Many posts I read say it is the cam sensor and act like it is a walk in the park to check/ change. From the searching I have done the cam sensor is under the intake cam pulley and looks to need the pulley removed to change. Anyhow, any tips or ideas what to test, check? Car has been dead for a week now. Also, I promise to come back and post the results of what was wrong that fixed it.
 
Power transistor. I hate discussing CW but one symptom is IF the crank moves far enough it will eat away at the CAS or Crank position sensor and the car will be dead in the water...

I believe on the 95 the CAM and Crank sensor are designed to be replaced as ONE unit. Im not 100% certain but It looks that way on several diagrams.

Im guessing the word CRANK doesn't speak for itself, u have to remove your lower timing belt cover to get to it. You can't miss it, its the only electrical component in there. Just do a 1g CAS swap and never look back. $40 for 1g CAS the rest is about an hour at the most of your time.
