96 Nissan Altima turns over but won't start. I checked the spark at each plug and it was weak to none existant. The distributor and rotor inside looks good. Could it be the coil?

do all 4 have SAME no/weak spark?

U13 is infamous for leaky distributor. oil gets past the shaft and inside, messes up spark. NAY NOT be apparent just by pulling off cap. ....take off rotor too, pullthe dust cover off shaft, and look down into body of distributor. remember, distributor has 'low voltage' trigger circuitry for the high voltage from the coil.
