Car not getting spark

Are you getting fuel?? If the crank shaft position sensor is bad you will not have spark or fuel. It's a two wire sensor behind the a/c compresor. When cranking the engine it will create a pulse which in turn activates both the ignition coils and fuel injectors.

If you have no fuel in addition to no spark I'd start there. You can test it with a meter while cranking the engine, you should see your multi meter jump between .5 and 1.0 volts while cranking, if you see this crank shafts position senor is good.

For clarification when I say no fuel, the injectors will not pulse, I don't mean fuel pressure in the fuel rail itself.
 
Brought a new Crankshaft Sensor and took off old 1 only to notice metal shavings.... I might still be good.... but those shaving tho?
 
Did you get car started after changing the sensor? ?

I don't understand, you found metal shavings on the old one... if so not good, any pics???
 
You could be getting fuel, but not enough pressure to get it started.
Have you verified 40psi in the rails?
 
Did this start right after the new fuel pump? If so, what kind of clamp did you use?

I went and got a fuel pressure tester and never used 1. What steps do I take for testing this car. The kit has a clear hose, multimeter, banjo bolts?, TBI adapter?
 
Screw the gauge on the schrader valve and crank the car over

Once you get pressure the gauge should read line pressure

The clear hose may be a ( once you have pressure and want to release pressure without making a mess) expel to soda can

There would be a button to push to release the pressure

If you don't get a bunch of gas, you can be pumping air
