Default Someone help! Starting problem with a dodge Dakota.

I have a 2000 V6 dodge Dakota that will not start. For some reason I can't get any spark out from the park plugs.So far I have changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires,the coil,and the cam sensor. the truck is not throwing any codes at all. Does any one give me a list of anything else I should check? A PCM fuse maybe?
Thanks in advance.

my money is on the crankshaft sensor, they are about 50 bucks from napa for a automatic and 100 for a manual trans from the dealer.
