1994 Chevy Lumina APV, Cranks but no spark

I have a 1994 Chevy lumina APV, It will crank but it has no spark. I changed the distributor cap and rotor, changed the ignition module, fuel pump is working fine. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be. I am thinking it might be the ignition coil. I am lost. HELP!

Well...ignition coil is a convenient culprit...but it is rarely a problem; if you can test with another, do it so you can put that behind of solve the problem..
Of course, check for continuity of 12V feed .
diagram here in case you do not have that;

I figured it out. It is the timing chain. Hard job to do yourself, I recommend bring it to a garage to let then do it. It is pretty expensive as well, Mine cost me almost $1000.00. So if you have patience and some skills you colud do it yourself. Thanks for the help everyone.

...mm...how did you figure that out? If you pull the distributor cover and it does not rotate when you start, it can be a broken camshaft....this has happened quite a few times in this forum, mostly with the 3.4..but part # is the same....http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=900759
If you have any doubts, remove front valve cover and check how many valves work...in all reported cases, the cam broke about in the middle.
