I have power on the coil but not on the distributor. I checked the EFI fuse already and it has power.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I have very limited technical information. But, I will try to help.

When spark is lost, the first thing I suspect is a bad crankshaft position sensor. Take a look through these links:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/symptoms-of-a-bad-crankshaft-sensor

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/crankshaft-angle-sensor-replacement

Here is what I suggest. If you have a live data scanner, check to see if there is an RPM signal when cranking. If there isn't one, replace the sensor to see if that fixes the issue.

Let me know what you find.
