Car doesnt start. If turn key it cranks but there is no spark. When you swith on there is spark at coil but when you try to crank the spark is gone. The coil is tested and in working condition. We replaced the ignition module. All wires are working. Distrubitor is fine. Battery is new. Everybody says I must replace crank angle sensor. Does this sound correct or can it be any other problem?
The car is the opel monza glx carburetor model.

Just need to confirm a few things here first. You have no spark at the plugs, coil has been tested ok, distributor is ok, not sure what you mean by spark at the coil when you switch on, do you mean 12V at the coil if you have 12V at the coil and with what you have done I would be looking at the crank sensor, I do not have to hand any tech info on this model but I am trying to track something down, not sure if they actually use a crank angle sensor or a cam angle sensor I will try and find out ASAP and re post, but if they do use a crank or cam sensor I would be looking here first.
