Default 99 gs Won't Start

I have gone through all of the steps to test fuel and spark,
I am not getting any spark! Or power to the coil
Also,,,,,,,,,when I Unplug the cam position sensor
then I get spark. Does this mean the sensor is bad or the wiring!

that sensor had a recall on it when u buy the senenor you have to buy the harness as wel and the wires have to be the exact same length when you install the sensor or the car will not work properly if you are not good at wiring i would sugest getting the car to a machanicas shop or the sealership to have them do it. oh and i almost forgot a sodering gun is required.

Being that it's a recall TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP!!! They will be REQUIRED to do it at NO charge for you. Why risk jacking it up cuz you wanted to try it when you can take it in and have the GARUANTEE that if it's jacked then you can take it back and have it fixed until it's right.

Umm no the wont do it for free because when a company has a recall on the part they have a time frame that you have to call and schedule getting the recall dont trust me i have been through this with mitsu i had to replace this part on my old car along with the crank angle sensor.

I never knew about it until i went to mitsu and bought it because my car was pulling a code for it and they informed me the part was recalled the connection on it and teh part are differant from the old on that is why you need to install the new harness pice.

Could It be bad even though I am not getting any codes?
FYI When The car died I was driving on the freeway and Just lost power,
I unplugged the battery and plugged it back in and the car started for about a minute and
then died again, Has not had spark or power to the coil since then!
