Default ignition coil-distributor mx-3

hi my daughter bought a mazda mx-3 a little while ago, and it has now faild to start, she whent out one morning and it just would not fire, i took a look at the spark on the plugs and there was not one, looked into the distributor and found that the rotor arm conntact pin was broken and also the distributor cap centre pin was broken.

today i have replaced both units with new ones but still have no spark to the plugs, cannot find the location of the coil to see if it is supplying the voltage.

has anyone got any ideas as to what to do next.

do you have to re-set the ecu or anything like that, i have never had one of these cars to deal with before so dont know much about them.

by the way the car was running fine before parking it on the drive and going to it the next morning and it failing to start.

hope someone can help
regards kevin
