Take your distributor cap off, have somebody crank the engine, and verify that the rotor is turning. You may have broken a timing belt, and if so you'll have no spark because the distributor won't turn

ok since you said timing belt i am assuming it is a 2300 turbo

they are bad about eating distributor gears pull the cap off and make shure the rotor turns.

then take a test light and put it in the positive side of the coil (orange or red wire) turn switch over it should light the test light if it does you have a tfi problem possible wiring
