Crank Position Sensor iirc...

Had similier problem on my Vaux Astra. Tried 2 new sensors with same problem. Fitted an 97,000 mile one and it still works now

Edited to say: My Astra was receiving all voltages iirc, but it was not receiving the correct signal from the sensor, hence it didn't know when to spark!

if there is a voltage at the coil but nothing coming out i would say it was the coil itself, i have changed a few coils on Zetecs for simular problems

input voltage at the coil pack, no output voltage suggests coil pack itself as melzieann said
