Does the fuel pump also fail to prime?

Any CEL codes?

Have you tested the coil and igniter unit inside the distributor?

Also take the oil cap off and watch for the rocker arms to move when you crank, if not, the timing belt is stripped. That will cause no spark because the distributor doesn't rotate.
