I have a 1998 VW Jetta. Ive had it for a couple of months & yesterday it crapped out on me. Then I figured that I have no spark. What could be my problem?

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Coil is getting power, Computer works. I plugged the DMM in & it gave me the code PO322 and told me the crank sensor was bad so I changed the sensor and I still dont have spark. what else could it be?

Check and test the ignition coil power output stage and camshaft sensor in the distributor.
