Angry 1990 Bonneville SSE, no spark replaced sensor, Ign. coil, Engine computer

This is my second message, I have a 1990 Bonne SSE and I was driving along when the engine just shut down. It restarted on the first attempt on three separate occasions, but on the fourth, it would no longer restart. After replacing the Iginition Coil, I checked for spark to the plugs. I found that there was no spark coming from the Ignition coil.
Since then, I've replaced the Crankshaft position sensor and the Engine computer (not the chip inside). Could the Cam position sensor be the problem, the ESC (which I can't find), or is it something else? Please somebody, tell me something, anything that might help. Heeeeeeeeelllllllllppppp!!!!

It could be, the ignition coils and mounted on top of the ignition module. I know there are two different setups. One has 3 coils, they have a 5.5 mm bolt holding them to the module. The other has them all together on one assembly. I would check there. I had an ignition module go bad and shut off half the spark to my engine.

I had my ICM tested at NAPA for no charge. There are several other auto patrs stores that will do this as well. I was not able to find able or willing to test the coils, though.

Wink Always go back and check !!!!!

Hey people,
After replacing everything in the spark sequence, I went back and checked the Crank Position Sensor. I found that the new one had been damaged on first start attempt. Two of the Harmonic Balancer fins were bent and as I tried to start, they ripped up the Crank Position Sensor. Always go back and check your work. Thanks for the help attempts.
