Exclamation car shut down while driving!

I was driving to work and out of the blue the check engine light started flashing and about 10 secs later the engine just shut down.. I got the car towed home and did some diagnosing and it seems that I got air, fuel but no spark!.. Tried replacing coil, igniter and distributor but still no spark! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Unhook ya wires and see if they arc when you turn the key. Have someone turn it for you. See what it does

You lost the ignitor. Ignitor needs to be replaced. Before replace make sure you are getting 12 volts to the coil also.

I'm getting 12 volts to the coil.. But when I unhook the igniter, I'm not gettin any reading so it means the igniter still good right but a bad coil?
