If the crankshaft position sensor is faulty, it can lead to a loss of spark in the ignition system. This sensor is crucial for determining the engine's timing, and without accurate readings, the engine control unit (ECU) may not trigger the ignition coils correctly. As a result, the engine may not start or may run poorly due to inconsistent firing. Therefore, a bad crank sensor can indeed result in a lack of spark.

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.
