1996 Mazda 626 No Spark
I have the same problem. I too replaced the coil,wires,distributor cap and rotor. I'm getting fuel to the fuel injectors. I checked that there was voltage at the coil.
Turns over fine but no spark. I put a screwdriver into the coil where the the wire connects it to the distibutor cap and saw no spark. Could this be the ignition module in the distributor? Or the main computer?
I don't want to buy a part that costs 100 or more to find out that didn't fix the problem either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Most likey this is the cause of your no spark....if the igniter/pick-up is faulty.....it won't tell the coil to spark

Suggested Repair
Suspect a failed distributor igniter or pick-up, a common cause of no spark on these Mazda distributors. The igniter/pick-up is in the distributor and, if faulty, will not signal the coil to fire. Confirm that diagnosis before replacing the computer or buying another expensive part.
Conversation Summary
A 1996 Mazda 626 2.0L cranks and has power but will not fire, with no spark after the coil, plugs, wires, and rotor were replaced and fuses checked. A 1991 Mazda 626 2.2L owner reported the same no-spark condition after replacing the coil, wires, cap, and rotor, with fuel and coil voltage present. The Mazda tech said both cases most likely involve a faulty distributor igniter or pick-up that fails to trigger the coil. The 1996 owner then asked whether that part is inside the distributor and whether the whole distributor must be replaced.
