No Start

[bricksb]

I have a 94 Camry and out of the blue, coming out from shopping the shopping mall, started the car, put it in reverse and died. The starter cranks the engine but does not want to ignite. Had it towed home and I checked all the fuses, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and of course the battery - all checked good. I had the alternator tested and that checked good too. I checked the spark plug cables one by one and cranked the engine but no spark. Is there an easy way of tracing power to the distributor? Any possible cause that you can recommend will be appreciated.

unplug the wire from the coil, see if you got spark there, if not it could be the coil or the igniter

After doing ohm readings on the internal coil, secondary contact kept showing "open". Replaced coil and car came back to life. Thanks for the help Oldman.
