Lost spark??

I suddenly lost spark from my FD.
My car has had some electrical problems few times already including CPU2 was messed up and my a/c panel was broken. Any idea where to start looking for answer to my missing spark?
I have done single conversion and removed the rats nest and have PFC.

I would take a look at your coils first, if you do a quick search, it will tell you how to test them properly.

Tested sparkplugs today and all gave spark on other car so they are fine. I think ill pull UIM off tomorrow and see if wires are on and if coilpacks get power.

Any other thoughts that i can check tomorrow than coils?

Just pull the plug wires from the spark plugs stick a screw driver in the wire socket and hold close to any metal surface,you should see spark between the metals.

I tested the distriputors and they dont get power. took the wire from leading distriputor and tested wether it gets power while cranking and nothing.

Where are fuses for distriputors? i checked all fuses in drivers side fusebox and since the cover only reads japan i checked them all and all was well.

More ideas what to do and where to check?

id check your grounds for the coils.
if i recall there is a little ground wire that attaches on the drivers side near the oil filter pedestal.

I checked coils and they are fine and i used volt meter to check all wires goint to coilpacks and some of them grounded so i think grounds are ok. Are there more electronic parts, other than Ignitor Assy thats under hood, near passanger side door (JDM model)? Im thinking that it may be faulty because i have had more electrical issues with this one.
Im trying to get new Ignitor Assy and just change it and see if it helps.

Any1 have more ideas where to check?
