I have a 90 240sx with ka24e motor. I have Replaced the Coil, Distributer, plugs and wires, and still nothing. Does anybody have any clue what could be the problem?

The coil is not providing spark to the distributer. It rolls over but the spark plugs are not getting fire.

could be but you gotta see if its even getting the signal to spark. Check the integrity of the power and ground to the module while cranking. You should always have bettery voltage available to it and have less then .2v on the ground wire while cranking.
