Car started and ran fine. Now the car wont start. There is no spark from the coil. Replaced the coil and still no spark. The engine turns over quickly.

If the cranking is faster than normal, check timing belt or chain. At the moment, I haven't looked up your vehicle.

I'm not sure of your engine litre size? I looked at a 2.0L. Check primary voltage at the coil, black wire with pink tracer, should go hot with the key on. Use a voltage tester.Also, Any applicable trouble codes?
