Cranks but won't start

I have a '98 9 5 2.3lpt with 115k miles, I was driving short distances a couple of nights ago ( short stop go trips) on the last trip I got back into the car and it will not start, all electrics appear fine but the engine will turn over but will not fire. After reading several posts about the CPS and DIC failing I have checked the DIC ( as recommended in another post) by removing it but leaving it connected, plugging a spark plug into position one and grounding it, followed by cranking the engine. A spark is visible, I would assume this rules out the DIC?. I have also read that if the CPS is faulty the ECu will not know that the engine is trying to start, therefore not supplying a feed to the fuel pump and no spark, is this correct. The DIC or CPS have never been replaced and the cost for the DIC in Ireland is $800. I have swapped the battery and checked for bad connections.
How can I check the CPS and where is it located on the car and is it easy to get at.
Any other ideas??
