since when it dosent start did you change something... It Might be stupid but is your timing belt broken or is your timing is well set!??

Chek your rotor in your dizzy is it holding with the screw or else it will spin freely

Might be a bad ground... Grab some booster cables, clamp it on your engine one one end and on your body on the other end then try it... If it work change all your ground

To check you resistors box open it, then with a test light check each and every connecting hole of the connecting clip

Make sure the resistors box has power then with the test light check every whole and if doesnt light up then your resistors box not sending power, even if one dont light up you have to change it unless you find a way to bypass it
