Default focus wont start

i wonder if any body has an idea on how to get a 98 1.8 focus going again the rac chap had over an hour checking it by the roadside and came to the conclusio nthat it was the crank or camshaft sensor i have changed both of these but it is still not firing do you think it is time for a match and a gallon of petrol any ideas would be gratefully accepted
