Default Sparkless in miami...

I've left my 88.5 Turbo S for about a two years without starting it, I tried the other day and discovered that there was no spark. Any ideas or places to look before I ship it off to the mechanic? Thanks in advance!

No spark at what point? At the plug or at the coil? If you checked at the plug, try the coil.

Battery's a good place to start after two years of sitting. Is it cranking at all?

Things to check:
Spark at coil?
Spark at plugs? If not
Spark at end of plug wire? If not
Check distributor and rotor.
Should get you headed in the right direction.

And +1 to CPR's suggestion
