I have no spark which I think means that I need a new coil. I have been looking for a way to test the coil starter itself but have no test light.

This ended up being a low compression problem the cylinder walls were lubed up and now the car runs fine 10 months of scratching my head I broke down took it to a shop and they found the problem in 2 days.
