hia guys hope u can help point me in right direction

car been not started for about a month was left outside at local garage waiting for an mot there is basically no spark
1 battrey is ok turns over fine
2 power at coil
3 removed dizzy cap cleaned a sprayed with wd 40 some evidence or a little arking but started ran perfect when left there
4 the garage said they think it might be a crank sensor they said there are 2 this seems unlikely to me as it was fine when i left it

ur thought avenues of investigation would be helpful

oh it is a late 85 car on a c reg
