Default no spark no fuel pressure

what could my problem be? when I turn the ignition on i could hear the fuel pump run but when I try to turn the car on, it wont turn on it just turns over and over again. the coils do not deliver the signal to the spark plugs so i also dont have a spark. I also dont have fuel pressure. I checked the fuses and relays and they all seem good. thanks for your help

Have you checked your fuel pressure?

would that also be the cause for no spark? or would that be a whole different problem? because if they are different problems its weird that this happened all at the same time

after extensive research, it happened to be the crank position sensor. Thanks fleetmgr for your response in trying to solve my problem
