Hi Jason,
The on-board troubleshooting capability should be tried. Turn the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the odometer window to see whether the mileage changes to show 4-digit number preceded by a P. Those are fault codes. Tell me what you learn and we'll go from there. If that doesn't work, then see if you can borrow a fault code reader that plugs in under the dash to a socket next to the steering column. If there is no spark, it could very well be one of two engine rotational position sensor is not working. Those are needed to cause a properly timed spark. A fault code would tell us which one is bad.
