Car will not start. Tried starting it by push but suddenly nothing. What could be the problem? Ignition module and pick up sensor?

First we need much more detail. Does it crank? Are there any faults stored? Have you tested for fuel and spark? Here is a great link that can assist you:

Yes tested fuel but no spark at all, but the coil is sparking very well. Could it be the distributor?

Yes it sounds like you have an ignition rotor that needs to be replaced. I hope this engine has one because the engine I see are all diesel?
