Would bad cam sensor cause no spark?

If you have a bad cam sensor there will be no input sent to the computer signaling the position of the cam/crank...etc, and there will be no signal sent to the coils telling them to fire. So yes, a bad cam sensor will in part cause no spark. Try a new sensor, or pick one up for cheap from a junkyard.
