Default no spark - need help quick

So I go to start my car after doing some work on it and it fires great. Let it run for 15-30 seconds everything seemed great. Then I go to start it later on and it starts to fire and dies.

Did all the checks I know of and I am getting fuel, BUT NO SPARK. Pulled the cap and cleaned the contacts on the cap, and replaced the rotor. (it was older. I replaced the cap about 5k ago.) But still nothing.

What should I do next??

Please help.

Thank you

Derek

are you sure your not getting a spark? you pulled the plug and layed the hex part on a grounded area and put the boot on he spark plug while having another person crank the engine?

what is the full setup of this car, no spark can be alot of things, what have you done modifications wise, when you say finished doing some work , what does that mean?

yes I grounded the end of the plug and have no spark!

I am running a JDM H22 stock except my intake basically.

The work I did was replace the TPS and radiator. Radiator cracked and blew radiator fluid all over. The car started after I did this stuff.

It was later in the day that it didn't start.

Please help anyone my car is stranded.

Thank you

did you check the coil see if there's spark from there? Coil is what spark first. Let us know on your result
