I have a 93 Mazda Protege that will not start. The engine rotates fine, but will not start. There is a new fuel filter & pump installed, new alternator & battery installed. I have changed the coil & ignitor assembly (ignition module). I can not detect spark at the plug wire ends or at coil wire end. I have tested all wires for resistance and all check out. I ahve accessed the diagnoistic codes and I am getting the code 02 which is for the ditributor or pcm or components. I have tried spraying starting fliud in throttle body and got a limited sputtering or feeble attempt to start, but nothing major. I should have used brake clean fliud, but did not have it at the time. I have voltage at the terminal for the coil & voltage at the terminal for the ignitor assembly. Please give any advice that seems fit to give at this point. I am at a crossroad.

Check the spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Replace if neccessary. Make sure you're getting fuel to the engine. Check the injectors as well, in case they're clogged. Timing could also be off.
