Answer
I'm not up on that car.  But no spark means it either isn't getting the signal meaning either the cam(s) are not rotating hence a broken timing belt or the magnetic pickup is not sensing rotation or the coil(s) are not firing.  If you can look into the oil filler and see the top of a cam, have someone crank the motor while your looking in to see if the cam rotates.  If so then one part ruled out.  Does it have a crankshaft pick up sensor, camshaft position sensor or a distributor.  If a distributor then the pickup is either in there or is a non serviceable part of the assembly.
