Hi,
Check the distributor. That is more than likley the culpret. Wright me back if that doesn't do it. We will then get deeper into the other problems that can cause no spark.

Hi,
Do you have an OBD II code reader? If you don't have one Auto Zone will loan you one. Plug it in and tell me what the codes are. It will either be the distributor, the Cam sensor, Etc... There are so many things that can cause loss of spark. If you start replacing parts it will get very expensive. I need more information to answer your questions.

AnswerHi,
Hook a hot wire from the posative post on the battery to the posative side of the coil. Try to start the vehicle. If it starts the problem is probably in the ingnition switch that is mounted to the bottem of the steering column. If it doesn't, take an ohm meter and test from the posative (small) connection on the coil to the primary position (large) hole on the coil. You should get e reading from between 11,5000 to 15,000 ohms. if you don't get this reading the coil is bad. If you do, then replace the distributor.
