Check your coilpack if it's getting any signal, that or your leads but doubtful as you say you are not getting any spark

how did you check that your not getting any spark, remove sparklead and earthed it?
is the fuel pump clicking

you need a timing light to check your timing, if you replaced your dizzy without timing it you just retarded the timing,
instead of replacing the dizzy straight away, should've checked the plugs, re gapped them. get a multimetre and check resistance on leads
how's the battery
hows the fuel
any previous electrical faults in regards to hard starts or anything? prior to this

if it started then stalled its most likely the ignition coil or igniter unit failed. More so since its not sparking.

Stop trying to start it and replace the ignition coil - see if that gets it started.

hey ban thanks for the help but ive already changed over with another dizzy and still no good ? what do u reckon.. 2 mechanics came to look at it

one mechanic changed over to another dizzy , no good.
and the other did test to the electrical , and said it could be the ECU or somewhere has gone wrong from the wiring loom , maybe loose plug, or faulty cables ?? he said he has to take the wiring loom apart and look ? could this be the problem as i know his gonna rip me off.

cheers guys

same thing happened to my car man my timin belt skipped its teeth and snapped my sparkplug

that could be the problem?? or maybe fuel pump.. my mate was driving b4 in his eg vti then all of a sudden it turned off he changed the fuel pump and it was all good.
gimme ur bbs wheels :P
