The car cranks but does not start. I tested fuel pump and filter, they are fine. The car does not have a spark. There is no electricity even to start the fuel flow. What can be the problem?

Good morning.

You need fuel, spark and compression to start.

How did you check the fuel pump? Can you hear it run when the key is turned on?

Also, I would start with a compression test in the cylinders to see if there is a timing belt failure. Do you know when you last changed the timing belt?
