My car dose not want to start up. it will crank but will not start. I have no spark on spark plugs. I put in a new distributor cap and ignition coil and distributor rotor, but still no spark.

check the pickup coil for resistance, then check ignition module in distributor it should be 500-1500 ohms. See picture. if you have a tachometer lead disconnect it and see if it starts. auto parts can check module.
