What were the events leading up to the car not running? There is a large number of pieces that can fail causing the car not to have spark. We need more information to help you.

You may want to try and get the codes and see what story they have to tell you. Try the search feature you will find many diffent posts and links to pulling them and what they mean.

Does the tach go up when you are cranking it? Also the guide to checking your codes is in my sig.

Yes, there are single parts that can fail and leave the SHO sparkless. Without checking the EEC codes, however, you are shooting in the dark or throwing money at problems that may not exist. Chances are that the crankshaft position sensor (CPS or CKP) has failed, but without additional information, that is just a first guess. How long since the timing belt has been replaced? The CPS is a small extra task when the belt service is occurring.
i got a bunch of codes when i scanned it. there were ones for o2 sensors fuel pump relay coolant temp sensor(which i replaced) and thats about it. ill find the sheet that has the codes on it. the car ran fine i parked it came back an hour later and it turned over.the tach does go up when it turns over and it gets fuel cause i checked the fuel pressure

So it turns over, you get a tach reading, you have fuel pressure. You can hear the pump priming? When did you pull the codes? Maybe try clearing them and checking them again...

Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or so... that should do it...

If your ATX won't go into gears properly, you probably have a bad BOO (Brake On Off) switch. Have someone check to see if you get brake lights when you step on the pedal. As for the coil pack... the coils are paired, so generally there will be sets of two that don't work. There are specific codes that should be thrown based on which set of coils are not working.

Check the fuse marked "IGN COIL.trevorkdn:
it doesnt spark it shifts fine and every thing. but it wont spark. coil pack?
If that isn't it, you will actually have to troubleshoot the "No Spark" issue.
I have posted numerous tests and procedures to guide you through this. Since there is no index, the SEARCH tool will be needed to find my posts.
