Unhappy Help!!!

Ok guys, here's the problem. I just bought a 91' 4Runner SR5 two months ago. It's been running fine up until now. The engine turns over but I'm not getting any spark at all. I've replaced the coil, the spark controller, distributer cap, and rotor button. I cannot figure out why I'm getting no spark. I've checked all fuses and relays inside and out and still no luck. Has anyone had this problem before? And if so, how did you fix it? Thanks in advance...:pat:

This is probably retarded, but have you checked the wires? I noticed they aren't in your list. No idea why they wouldn't be working but....

Yeah, Sorry... Checked the wires, I'm just not getting any spark from the coil. Are there any sensors that could cause this?

It might be a stretch, but it could eliminate this...

When my sister's Celica wasn't putting out any spark, we started working on the ignition system. Then I thought about seeing if the timing belt was still intact by removing the distributor cap, cranking the engine, and having someone see if the distributor rotor turns. It didn't--the timing belt snapped clear through.

No timing belt--no distributor rototation--no spark.

I thought about that one and checked it on Saturday. Distributor is still rotating. This problem is driving me insane!!! Thanks for the reply and let me know if you have any other ideas.
Thanks
