NO Spark, New coil and ignitor....

I was hitting about 5lbs in 5th @ about 2500rpm and suddenly the car just stops accelerating. I let off and then floor it again, POP!!! It backfires, this happend like 3 times so I stopped. I just bought a new ignitor about 3 months ago and I bought a new coil today and it still wont start. I know its getting fuel. When I had a friend turn it over I held the #1 plug wire next to a valvecover nut and I couldnt get any spark to arc when she turned it over... Im lost on what to look for next. I thought maybe wiring, but Ive sodered all my conncections. I did however find that the screw that holds the rotor on had worked itself out, so I screwed it back in... but Im lost where to look next....

thanks

Check your main relay. It may be powering the fuel pump but not the ECU

Have you checked fuses? Busted t-belt?

I don't know what your setup is, but I fixed my problem today by removing my MSD and putting the stock ignition system back on. Then I also found a problem when I re-wired my VAFCII to my ECU, my RPM signal wire wasn't making good contact. I got that set in good and I'm running like a champ.
