Check the AC/IGN fuse under the dash. Did you reconnect the wires to dizzy or other things u disconnected?

Just had the same thing happen to me did not take off the wires at the dist. Then no spark when trying to start car. Checked all the fuses replaced dist cap and rotor. Checked current going to dist all was good finally went to Advanced Auto got a new coil and it fired up.

You don't. Are you 100% sure you're not getting spark? And it's all 4 cylinders? Are you 100% sure your injectors are firing? If that's the case and you went over all applicable fuses, then yea I'd suggest replacing the coil, and yes all B and D series coils work.
