Default 98 ls1 car no spark

Ive been running down this problem for a few days. I bought a noid light set today and found nothing going to my injectors when cranking. The coils all read good power and ground. I believe its pin pointed down to the crank sensor going to read the pins at the ecu to make shure theres power there. and ground. Is there anything else I should check or do you feel im headed in the right direction with the crank sensor?

If you're injectors aren't pulsing, then you have no fuel. Not spark.

You're thinking is right in line. 98's have different wiring than the other years, but IIRC the crank sensor fires the injectors on those years. You can pull the sensor and ohm it out, or if you've got access to a scanner that can run a "self test" on the crank sensor that would simplify your diagnosis by a good bit.
