tried distributor,coil, and ignition switch no change in problem. Have noticed spark at #1 plug when turning key to the off position but no spark when trying to start. E16 engine 1.6L. does this have an igniter? if so where is it located? :help

crank it with the distributor cap off and see if the rotor turns. if it doesnt you may have a broken t-belt.
