first, make sure the timing belt is not broken. if it is ok, then you most likely have a distributor failure which is very common. there are 2 sensors inside and they fail often.

agrred no spark means distributor coil pack. mine went out i just bought a distributor. just get one from advanceautoparts and use retailmenot.com for coupon codes and save 30-50 bucks on it.
