I have no spark at all I have put in a new distributor, coil, ignition switch, ignition module and plugs and wires and it still will not spark at all. There is fire at the pink wire on the coil what could be the problem? This happened over night.

Check fuses under hood. Then try another key if you have one. It may be a security problem that is caused by a worn key.

If you replaced the key switch it has to be programmed to your computer by a mechanic. Also, check rotor in distributor for play it should not have any if it does then the gear on bottom of distributor is bad and needs to be replaced.
