Car drove fine. Fired over every time. Parked it for about an hour and came back to find it wont start. It cranks and clicks. But will not turn over. Alternator and starter are not the problem. Battery is fine also. Replaced the ECTS (engine control temperature sensor) still wont turn over. It doesn't seem to be getting spark.

Just to be sure I'm on the same page, you indicated the engine cranks and clicks, but doesn't turn over. Typically the term "turn over" is a reference to engine cranking, not necessarily starting. So does the engine crank (turn over) the entire time you're holding the key in the start position? If so, have you done anything to confirm the engine is getting fuel or has spark?
