no spark

I have a 2001 express work van that has no spark. It just died with no warning, i had to tow it home. I replaced the crankshaft sensor it still has no spark. There is gas pressure when i checked the fuel rail, does anyone have a quick fix or any ideals how to fix the problem.
Thanks

It has a 4.3 engine

no spark

I traced the problem to the ecm, replaced it and all is well. The van fired up on the first try. Thanks to all for your help. This forum really works.
