Default no spark and i cant figure out why

for some reason my engine is not getting spark. ive checked and replaced the ignition coil, the dizzy and rotor seem fine, my spark plugs and wires are ok. what else could it be? when my car died i smelled something that smelled like wires frying. ive checked all fuses. when the car sits long enough itll start and run for about 5 seconds and shut off. im completely clueless on this problem. any one have any ideas?

If you smelt wires frying you could have had a small electrical fire. Possibly the power needed for the spark is making a short to ground. I would try and locate the burning smell.

i could only smell it when it happened which was like a month ago. any ideas of what could have fried and where it would be?

I suggest checking wires inside the harness. Electrical fires suck if they start when theres a bunch of wires together rather than being by them selves. Check for any exposed wiring Starting at the spark plugs and working your way back. A wiring diagram would help a lot
