the starter keeps turnin fine. I can hear the feul pump, I checked the fuel pressure valve and it spits out fuel. My concern is that the feul injectors themselves might not work?, or the is no spark. Which i dont know how to check. Is there an easy way to check for spark or what are my next steps. I have till sat. to get her running. I need some advice

The safe and easy way is to get a "noid" light. Most autoparts stores sell this. You unplug the SP boot and put the "noid" in it. Have someone crank the car. If there is power to the boot, the "noid" will light up.
 
I tried it out and i havnt goten any spark. I spoke with a tech at the ford dealership and he said it is either my crank sensor or a fried PCM. I figured an enthusiast might know more. So what do yall think? And should i test my fuel injectors next?
 
The weird thing is, its not throwing any codes. And another thing, he said because my tachometer isnt going up at all when its turning over, its most likley my crank sensor. Wouldnt it throw a code if it where a sensor?
 
I just tested the wires leading to the ckp sensor and there seems to be no voltage at all. Im not to sure what that means or what to do next.
