Default 1987 Carrera - No spark/no start

My car won't start. Checked the continuity of the wire from the coil to the distributor and all is good.

All ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor changed a few years ago.

I've confirmed that there is no spark coming off the coil.

Where to start? Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Ed

DME Relay next to the DME under the driver's seat. You should always have a spare in your glovebox.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

Also just confirmed that there is no power (I assume 12 volts) to the wires going to the coil.

Hi

i also have a no start situation.
one of my crank sensors reads 600kohm (the other 1k). I’m pretty sure that’s the culprit. Is there any way to replace the sensor without dropping the engine?
I’ve jacked up the car but do not see a way to get to it from underneath.

Thanks
