No spark usually means that the ignition control module is bad - or the ignition coil has failed. The tester for an ignition control module is expensive, but autozone or a place like that will test it for free - on or off the engine. The coil can be tested for resistance with an OHM Meter or it can be tested along with the ignition control -- at a place like autozone...keep me posted
