Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, when spark is lost, my first suspect is always a bad crankshaft position sensor. Take a look through these links. The first describes the component I mentioned. The second link describes symptoms, and the third shows in general how to replace one.

This specific vehicle isn't offered in the US, so my technical information is limited. However, take a look through the links and let me know if it helps.
