Default HELP!!! Car died while driving, it won't start... It just cranks

Here is the deal, I just finished my M6 swap and took the car for a ride. Everything was good. I stopped at a buddies and bs'ed for about 10 minutes. The car fired right back up. I drove down the street and it just died. I pulled over and it will not start. My fuel pressure gauge shows 60 psi when the key is turned, I checked all of the fuses with a test light and they are good. I pulled the #1 plug wire and used a screw driver to test for spark and there was none. I checked all of the wires and everything looked fine. So where do I go from here?? Cam sensor??? Crank sensor??? Do they just go bad like that ? How can you test them??

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
