Default Car started and after two turns, the car shutted off, and now car wont start!!!

my friend's 94 EX Coupe started and after about two corners, he said the pedals didn't respond and the car just shutted off. Now when he tries to start the car, it won't turn over. It cranks and all but won't start. I replaced the main fuel relay... That wasn't it. So I listened carefully, and fuel was priming. Plus you can smell it after a while of cranking. Checked the spark plugs and NO there was no spark. My friend is really short on cash and we want to know a pinpoint cause to this problem so he doesn't have to buy what's not necessary. So with the information provided... What could it be? Spark Plugs? Distributor? Something else?
Thanks.

It sounds like you've already eliminated everything but spark. I find it VERY unlikely that all four plugs would fail/foul at once. That leaves you with a dizzy failure.

Find yourself a multimeter and a helms (or haynes/chiltons for that matter) and test your ICM and iginition coil.

If your friend wants to save money the first thing he needs to do is some thorough troubleshooting.
