I was driving and suddenly it quit running. I have no spark and no feel. I have tried everything and I can't figure it out.

Good afternoon
There is a module and a distributor pick up that controls spark.

Do you have a test light to do some checks?

You need to test for voltage on the positive side of the coil. Then test the negative as well. If you have voltage, then have someone crank the engine and see if the test light flashes.

Okay, did you do the test I requested? We need to do some testing. Replacing parts for no reason is not working as you see.
Please do the test I requested to see if we have proper power.
