Hi gwapzdeoboynyc,

When sparks are not available, it could be a fault with the ignition switch, coil or control module or a broken timing belt.

Remove the distributor cap and crank engine and if rotor does not turn, the timing belt is broken.

If rotor turns, test for voltage at distributor connector Black/Yellow wire with ignition switch ON and while cranking. If voltage is available, the problem is either a faulty ignition coil or control module.
