Ford Falcon: Crank angle sensor

My 1999 XH Ford Falcon 'Tradesman' utility suddenly stopped running at a set of traffic lights a few days ago and had to be towed home. There was no spark evident when a plug was removed and the engine cranked over a little. There was absolutely no sign of it 'firing up'! I have heard that the crank angle sensor may have failed and possibly the coil has too. What can I do to get the vehicle going?

Replacing the crank angle sensor is a good start, that's most likely the problem. The coil could also be dodgy, but I would replace the crank angle sensor first.
