TDC sensor could be worn. Check for any codes?

if you changed the dizzy and your getting light spark try checking all your grounds... i believe there is one right where the harness y's off to go to you alt and your dizzy/injectors.... check that and see if it is tight or even connected... if it is even applicable to your car

If you are getting no spark it is your ignition Coil.
