Default 3 Door Cossie not starting

Had the cossie out today, nice run upto Enhanced Performance (thanks for good day guys) for their rolling road day.
Drove and run fine, got home, turned engine off and went indoors.
Came out a bit later, went to put car in garage, wont start.
Turns over, but wont seem to fire up.
Fuel pump doesnt seem to work, tested for power, none.
Tested for spark (plug one out, put in spare plug, then onto rocker) doesnt seem to spark.
I am not the best mechanic around so after advice please if anyone can help
Thanks in advance.

if your not getting spark or fuel then i would check you phase and CPS sensors.

does it prime when you switch on ignition ?

Depending on how hot it is it may not prime anyway, I would check the CPS, crank position sensor, bottom edge of front pulley about the 7 o'clock position, do a wiggle on the connector for it also.

As said defo sounds CPS related, do the wiggle test and check connector and also make sure one of the four lugs on the crank pulley has not broken off.
