So I recently got a 1998 Porsche boxster and it wasn’t running. It was supposed to be a fuel pump issue, but after getting a good ground on the relay for the fuel pump and checking the psi which was around 58 I decided to check spark. So far I’ve pulled two plugs and neither of them are giving spark so I pulled the coils off and tested the wires with a volt meter while someone turned it over and still nothing. Not sure where to go next?

Update, not sure what changed but checking the plugs to the coils and the one on the right has 12.5v when the key is on the middle is ground and the left one has 0.10v while it’s turning over.

I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it works fine now. I believe there is something inside the motor that broke the tip of the crankshaft position sensor off. Wires were exposed on the end of the sensor.
