How did you test/determine that you are not getting spark?

Fuses, grounds, wiring, or ECU. A busted timing belt would also do it. If you are checking for spark at the end of the spark plug wires, you might also have a bad distributor cap or ignition rotor.

ok grounds are ok cap and rotor are ok and so is timing belt. I tested the to see if i got spark by taking out a plug and putting it on a ground and see if it sparked but no spark

If you can get your hands on a good distributor, swap yours out. Then you know if the problem is in the distributor, or in the electrical system of the vehicle.

Sounds like they may have popped a fuse. Check all of your underhood fuses and the under dash fuses. Particularly the ECU fuse.

no they finished the car and started the car and pulled it out of the bay and parked the car then when i went to start the car it wouldnt start. I checked all fuses and they are fine i replace the coil it was fine and the ignitor and after all of that there is still no spark

It's just a coincidence that the car would not start at Best Buy after their monkeys worked in your dash
Look for something simple-blown fuse-disconnected wire or ground. Good luck.

Main relay under the dash could be the culprit. Are you absolutely sure it is not just a crappy battery. How fast is the starter spinning?

yes im sure its not the battery. the battery is strong. and best buy would not take responsibility for the car not starting because it started when they back it out of the install bay
