I was turning into a parking lot and hit a dip and lightly hit front end of the car; then the car just quit running. It will not start again. There is no fire going to the spark plugs the engine turns over as if trying to start. I have replaced the coil and rotor button; the battery is charged. It is not out of gas. I've checked all the fuses and have no blown fuses. What could the problem be?

Do you have power going to the coil positive terminal-if so remove distributor cap crank it over-is the rotor spinning?
