Default HELP 98 trans am wont crank

i have a 98 trans am ls1 6 speed the car has always ran fine never any problems other than just basic stuff but last night i went out to eat and drove the car got to the resturant and cut the car off went in and eat came back out and now the car wont start. it just spins over. i have checked fuel and it has fuel pressure and fuel. i checked all conectors and still nothing i then check for spark and its not getting any spark to any of the plugs. i have a buddy tell me maybe it was the crank sensor not allowing it to crank or give spark so i replace it because i did have a engine light on for the sensor p1336 was the code after changing the sensor and clearing the code the code just popped back up but the car still will not crank please someone help.. any advise i am lost i cannot think of anything else.
