Default Sunbird died and won't start

My 1991 sunbird 2.0 L died yesterday in a drive-thru and will not start
back up again.
I have already replaced the:
distributor
module
spark plugs/wires
fuses
distributor cap
rotor
coil pack

It has fuel pressure.
It has no spark
The ignition wire to the coil pack has 12 volts when key is to the on
position.
There is no spark out of the coil.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestion on what could be wrong or what I
can do to fix?
PLEASE help. Thanks in advance.

Take the oil fill cap off and look inside while someone cranks the
engine. Is the camshaft turning?. If not you have a broken timing belt.

Guess what I found the problem and you won't believe it. Or at least
they didn't at Auto Zone.

The first part that we replaced the coil pack was the culprit and the
replacement new coil pack from Auto Zone was bad, I called them and
said I thought it might be bad, he said that was unlikely but alowed me
to exchange it any way. Since I new everything else should have been
already tested [like the distriubutor] and some of which I had already
replaced twice [modulator]. And since my last post I had also replaced
the brain it was the last straw.

It was the last and final thing to try and we tried it on a whim (and I
was already upset with going and looking at other cars sorry folks
don't like car dealers) and shaaaazammm it started after the second
coil pack.

Thanks for you help.

Aire
