Coils usually do not go bad while sitting.  Did you remove the top engine cover/sheet metal so you can access the ignition module(s)?  If not, I would take off the top cover to access the ignition module(s).  Dis-connect the small wire connected to the igntion module and check for spark.  If you have spark the module is good.  If no spark, the module is bad.  

Mice and other critters have been known to chew wires so I would check under the top engine cover to make sure there are no unwanted visitors.

What is the engine model, type and code number of the engine?
