i am going to point out the obvious.. you need to do some eliminating before you post for answers.. no spark could have 3 pages of ideas before you even try anything.. you need to check all of the obvious stuff, let people know what you have already looked at or tried.

I'm assuming you know it is spark because you tested for fuel already... if not, then pull the fuel rail off and make sure you are actually spraying fuel. Report findings.
Once you know if you have fuel or not, figure out if you actually have spark. you can pull the wire and ground it to the chassis to see the spark. you can put your hand on the coil and try to start the car and see if you get shocked. However you want to do it, just verify if you have spark at all, or not. Report findings.
Assuming you have fuel and don't have spark, start with:
bad spark plugs
bad spark plug wires
bad dist. cap
bad dist rotor
bad coil
coil not plugged in properly
bad ground
bad crank angle sensor/bad distributor
go one at a time and make sure they are all good and replace/fix whatever needs replaced and or fixed. Report findings.
