Since you aren't getting a spark is it possible that the ignition coil
has gone out?  It seems that they either work or don't.

Subject: cranky but no starty

Several days ago the ol' girl was running fine, but today nada!

Got a full tank of fuel, good battery, cranks well, all fuses check ok,
everything works *except* the fuel pump (isn't pumping up for the first
few
seconds after turning on the ignition), ignition (no spark), and the
idle
stabilizer valve (not vibrating).  I swapped the 2 relays in the black
box
above the coil, still nothing.  What could possibly affect those three
items???
