1990 Ford Probe. Wouldnt start one day, would turn over but not start. Replaced the coil, distributer cap, rotor button, spark plugs and put new wires on it, ran for a couple days then would start again. Found out a spark plug wire fell down on the manifold and shorted out. Fixed it, ran great, then three days later (today), it wouldnt start again, not getting spark again. Please help I'm truely at a lose now and am completely frustrated.

I dont think so? I just replaced the ignition module on the side of the ditributer today ($100), and that did not fix it. Where is the crank sensor located?

It's in the distributor on the 4 cyl and the 6 cyl has it next to the harmonic balancer.
