no spark

After what appears to be the week from hell, I thought it was ending on a good note. One of my pulley's seized last sunday and left me stranded. THe next day my alternator belt on my svx broke.

Anyway, my problem is after having the damaged parts replaced including timing belt, my car won't start. They said that I'm not getting a spark. Where do I begin to figure this out? Pep Boys had done a no start diag on the car earlier in the week, so it's possible that they screwed up something(long story). I've checked all of the connections and everything seems fine. Would fouled spark plugs cause this problem? or possibly the coil pack?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

If anyone is local and can help, I'd be eternally grateful. The car is in Brookhaven, PA right now.

Thanks!!

Work from the plugs back.

New NKG plugs are like 20 bucks for all 4, wires are cheap, coil packs can be had from the JU (get a diamond), if none of that works, check all connections to the coil pack, and if still a no-go, check all things electrical.
