I would think to follow the procedure in the factory service manual on replacing the crank sensor. The cam sensor could be the case, re-timing the motor and replacing the crank sensor and the cam timing is crucial,and if either of the 2 are out of range it will suspend spark to prevent engine damage.

On a friends Mazda 3, After checking fuses and ground wires there was a probability of the ecu being bad, but we popped the valve cover and found the intake cam out of time, it was almost 45 degress off. Found it kind of strange that we were able to get 120psi on the compression test. Anyway, re-timed the motor and it fired right up.
