QUESTION: no spark on any cyl

Answer
Sorry been out of town.

NO spark on any cylinder.  Check the timing belt by looking in the oil filler cap at the camshafts while someone else cranks the engine.  No rotation=no signal=no spark.  If you see the cams rotate the the belt is good and we have to look elsewhere.  Let me know.
