The crank position sensor should read the lugs on the back of the flywheel. This sensor is directly connected to the EDIS-4 module. Then the EDIS-4 decodes the position of the crank from that signal and makes sure the sparks are fired at the correct moment by controlling the coilpack. The EDIS-4 also gives the signal to the rev counter. The EDIS-4 communicates with the ecu asking for a timing advance using the PIP signal. The ecu should respond using the SAW signal. In the case of no SAW signal the EDIS-4 will default to 10 degrees spark advance as a fail safe.

So, if there's no spark (are you sure about this?), then something in this chain is not working. How about when you crank the engine, do you see any slightest moment on the rev counter indicating that the crank position decoding has been successfull?

Here you can see the direction of the pin numbering on the EDIS4 module:
