Default b18c del sol lost spark, new cap, rotor, wires, and still no spark, WTF?

Pretty much like the topic says, i lost spark while cruising around 2 days ago, so i replaced the usual crap and still no dice. Think it could be the ECU? Im not getting any check engine lights. The coil i replaced the old one with is iffy, not sure if it was a good one or not.

I was driving the car at 40MPH in 5th cruising and it just sputered and died. HELP!

First bet would be to replace the coil with one you know works.

If all is replaced and nothing works tis a grounding issue usually its the 10mm bolt that sits behind the block by the upper radiator hose, that was my problem
