If engine is turning over OK then battery and starter motor are fine, meaning crank sensor is by far the most likely problem (no spark on all plugs = faulty crank sensor).

If engine is not turning then battery is flat or starter motor is faulty. If battery is flat it could be due to a bad battery, or a constant drain, or a faulty alternator not charging the battery.

I thought my battery was ok, until I needed a jumpstart on 3 occasions in a week. She would turn over quite well but would not start.

New battery and she starts on the button every time.

Dont automatically assume the battery is ok if its turning over. It could well be that its not turning fast enough
