It may be the ignition coil?

I have power below it (the red and blue wires), but no spark from coil wire.

How could I tell if it is this or the camshaft position sensor?

I will try the spark plug spark test.

I do have fuel at the fuel rail.

Car won't start. It does turn over, but doesn't try to start at all (no pops/exhaust noises).

I have...

Still have it.

Mechanic and I agree rings are probably shot. If I keep out of the throttle it doesn't leak. Need to just behave and limp it along. Tried some Rislone miracle stuff, planning on it not working, then I may rig up a PCV valve in the valve cover or oil cap and create my own vent/drain. I don't have mon...
