i am getting a spark from the coil to the distributor but its not getting to the plugs. i have replaced the plugs, distributor (used), ditributor cap, distributor rotor , coil and the ignition module (used).

Did the car just suddenly die before all this?

Also, sounds obvious but just covering the bases, is the rotor spinning when you crank the engine?

yes it jus suddenly died and yes the rotor is spinning.

ok, was just checking the timing belt, but if it is spinning when you cank the engine then it didn't break.

What work was done to the engine in a time period before you lost spark to the plugs? It might be possible work previous done in or around the engine cause a problem that just showed up now.

A timing belt that jumped several teeth would cause this, given all that you checked and replaced already is good. If the time for the spark to happen occurs when the rotor position is retarded to the point it is almost mid-way between distributor point, the spark may not be able to bridge the gap. Have you checked your mechanical timing?

It is also possible the plug wires are shot. You didn't say that you replaced them. You can check resistance (they should have less than 25,000 ohms). However, it would be very, very unusual for all 4 of your plug wires to go bad at the exact same time.
