SOURCE: the car will crank but does not have fire going to the coil pack

did you do a spark test?
This could be a number of things, your crankshaft sensor, coils or ignition module.
check the coils

1. Remove the ignition coil(s).
   
2. Using an ohmmeter, check the resistance between the primary terminals on the underside of the coil. The resistance should be 0.50-0.90 ohms.
   
3. Check the resistance between the secondary terminals. It should be 5,000-10,000 ohms.
   
4. If the coil failed either test, replace the coil.

its possible there are multiple coil packs usually one for each bank or one for every two cylinders. Or check for a ignition control module

SOURCE: Car wont start. Engine is cranking but not firing.

The Electronic Ignition switch also called the may have failed.

SOURCE: car wont start. it

have you pulled a spark plug to see if they are getting wet with fuel? Have you got power to the ignition coils with the ignition switch in the on position? The coils get power and are then grounded by the ECU. if power to coils, then replace coils.

No there is nothing holding the sensor from the inside.
