mine doesn't start either and having same problem you mentioned.

do you hear a 'prime' noise from the rear off your car, if so your pump is working, all i get is a click, never heard that before, but i dont get a spark at my plugs either.

check to see if you have a spark at the HT lead from the coil. if so your coil is fine.

no spark at the plugs could mean your dizzy needs replacing.
