your plugs are bad, might be that you placed the wires in the wrong firing order.
tell us what engine you have so some can post the diagram, I don't know it by heart

a new cap and rotor are cheap enough you should just replace them. how do you know your not getting spark? i need more info on what exactly you have done to help your diagnosis. what engine do you have?

so how did you come to the conclusion you have no spark? does your motor crank but not start? missfire? any CEL?

well theres a long list of things to look at and ill tell you some common issues to look at first.
1. check your fuses. all just to be safe
2. put a flat head screw driver on the metal casing of the fuel injector, then have someone crank the engine and see if you can hear the injector click. if not then check to see if its getting power and ground.
3. check to see if your FPR is leaking. take off the vaccume hose and if fuels comes out the hose, replace the FPR.
4. a tune up could help you as well.
try those and let us know what you find
FYI: next time in your first post, you should always tell us the motor you have, work done if any, issues and what you have done to find out a possible issue. GL!

So if you're trying to spell "but" how do you get a "p" instead of a "b"? The two keys aren’t even in the same quadrant!
