I checked all fuses,

Reson for pulling the spark plug wires 1-by-1 was for me to test and see if all 4 spark plug wires were working properly.
(Not sure how I check them with engine off)

car is fine at the moment , just want to get it going

strange... I've replaced a couple of them myself (on other people's cars)

did you check for CELs?

are you hearing the fuel pump run when you first turn the key to Run?

connect a timing light and see if you have spark (point it at anything then crank the engine)

the coil is easy to check if you have a digital multi-meter (a crappy one from radio shack works great)

Fuel pump is active and fine

No spark what so ever,

Im guessing it might be the coil or one of the wires might be dead running to the dizzy, if someone agrees, please help me find which certain wire off the dizzy to test with a 12volt meter.

check the coil first... if you pull it out and see a burn spot on it(tiny or large) replace it regardless of the tests results...



then test the ignitior...
