They're not junk, every car has problems, its people that don't properly modify and maintain their car that ruin it.

I replaced my cars entire main wiring harness by myself and whattaya know, it had spark.

The wiring harness on an fb is much less complex, you could of fixed it.

Look for burnt wires and wires melted together, check your fuses too.

I couldn't figure out what the problem was on my old car to make it have no spark so I just got a parts car then replaced all the wiring harnesses, ecu, and all the relays, had extra coils etc just in case.
