    I take it that the engine cranks over ?
    First thing I would do is check for compression in each cylinder.
    I will bet that the CAMSHAFT snapped in two .

    I have had this happen twice and it had no spark.

    sometimes a follower gets knocked out of position.
    If your cam snapped the timing belt tension was too high.
    no spark is either relay[the black square one] or bad hall effect sensor[between dizzy+cap].

    Bet the auxillary shaft and oil pump gear are chewed up. Check the rotor position at TDC.
