Car died last night and wont start

I was driving last night in my 95 GST. I was going maybe 60mph and all of a sudden the car died. So i pulled off the side of the road and tried to start he up again. Well it tries to turn over but nothing. So i had it towed home. when i got it back i checked to see if it was getting any fuel. The rail is getting fuel but the injectors dont seem to be working. Then i checked to see if i was getting any spark. Once again nothing there either. I dont know what could have happend to get no spark or fuel. Any ideas?

Sounds like it could be the coil pack, or maybe one of your cam/crank sensors went...

Also, I'm not sure how a car reacts when the crank sensor is damaged because of crankwalk

While I'm on the worst case scenario kick, I'd also take the top timing cover off and check your timing belt and/or compression (if the belt broke then the cas sensor isn't working...this is what sends the trigger signal for the injectors and coil).

It seems less likely, but just for fun check the plugs for those sensors and the coil pack (right near the fpr on the timing end of the fuel rail)

Good luck.
sounds CAS related. From what I remember it controls both spark and firing of the fuel injectors.
The timing belt is still on. But i noticed there is a small chunk out of it.

I'm going to bet it's your crank angle sensor.

define small
small as in about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. alright i took of the lower timing belt cover and guess what..balance shaft belt was in a couple hundred pieces..very lucky the timing belt didnt break too. The belt also didnt skip any teeth or anything, everything still lines up.
