I got a 94 Toyota Celica ST I think it is. 1.8l only. Nothing special, all stock. I was driving on the road one day and it died while I was driving. Couple weeks prior to that, I replaced the old altenator to a new one due to a burning spell from the altenator. Tested and fully charged the battery and it was still good. A fried of mine thinks it's not getting no spark at all and it might have something to do with the coil or something like that? Can anyone throw some ideas as to what I need to do to get this fixed? Any helpful ideas/suggestions will be much appreciated.

When the car was dying was there and symptoms? Like rough idle, engine coughing, car jerking, etc..... Usually when you're not getting spark you'd get rough idles for one or more spark plugs not getting spark and or car won't start. Also if there was any changes in the way the RPMs suddenly climbed higher or lower than usual resulting in the car not accelerating and slow as a snail.
