Okay car has been driving and starting fine. Drove it to work yesterday got done would not start. It cranks over but wont fire. When I turn the key hear the pump turn on and prime. Checked for spark but get nothing. Replaces the control module with a new one, ouch those are expensive, started right up shut it off tried again nothing. Checked spark again, still no spark. At a loss as to what else it could be, getting power and module plug and out of it but nothing to any of the plugs. 93 quad 4 dohc. Any ideas?

More than likely your problem is a bad CPS, (Crankshaft Position Sensor). It is located on the front center of the engine block right above the oil filter. Be careful if you remove it as it may be very brittle and cracked and you DO NOT want to break it off in the engine block. Remove the bolt and try rotating it a little back and forth while gently pulling it out.
