My first guess is the coil is bad. Second guess is the pick-up in the distributor or the control module.

I just had to replace my pickup sensor due to no spark. The 3 things mentioned above are all it can be...

A coil is not that bad price wise pick-up in dist. a little more and a control module is not cheap at all I had to replace all on mine
