Sounds to me like the green wire that runs from the coil -VE round the FRONT of the engine bay into the loom near the ECU has snapped, this triggers the coil from the ECU based on a signal from the dizzy.
If it's broken there will be no spark
Had exactly the same problem with mine turned out the green wire from the coil had snapped under my intercooler where it runs along the crossmember!!!
