Default 1993 Volvo 240 NA starting issue

Hi y'all, I have a 1993 240 north America. My 240s code box is giving nothing in the ignition code tests. My car right now is turning over but no start, I also have no spark.

Crank position sensor. Do you have spark and do you have gas.

Yes I have gas, no spark at all. Can I ohm the CPS? If so what is the ohm rating?

You can't test the CPS as far as I know, have to replace it... Make sure you get an OEM!

Well, I decided to check the fuses again and surprise I had a bad one, I re-did the fuse as per clean the flame trap and put a better one in. It now runs like a champ

Apparently you had no gas, thus the fuse...

How can I have no gas if it runs fine? That doesn't make any sense. Neither of my pumps are making a sound

the fuse near the battery is for the fuel injection, not the ignition, thats what lev was referring to.
