Trace backwards on this one. You know you dont have spark so you have to move up along the ignition system to test. Is the coil firing? To do this you need spark plug wire pliers. Disconnect the cable from the coil and hold it very close to the terminal on the coil. You should see a spark jump from the coil to the wire same as testing for spark on a plug. No spark could mean the coil is gone(easy case scenario) or the system is not getting the coil to do its job(worst case scenario...electrical wiring problem)
