{16v}No spark - what to look at?

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

to text the coil, I would  tunr the car over 
holding the center districbutoir cap wire in hand near 
the block of the engine, to check if you have actual 
spark, if you don't I would swap the knock box and the 
ECU (if spares are available) to check those out.
