Hello, Welcome to Just Answer My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I've been an automotive engineer since 1996 and together we're going to solve this issue. I understand that having your trusted vehicle let you down can be frustrating as it rarely occurs at a convenient time, however I will do my best to either help you make the repairs yourself or at least understand the issue so you know what is involved. can you please tell me the exact code number that you're scan tool is showing? as you say you have checked for spark and its there but a faulty crank sensor would usually mean there's no spark at all ? if your OBD scan tool that can do monitoring then plug that it and crank the engine to see if you get an engine speed / rpm signal flagging up, if you don't then replace the crank sensor
