just one. wire or distributor cap issue. correct plug w/gap of coarse.
all plugs, likely the ignitor or coil.
pull one plug at a time. put boot back on, then arc it to the engine and motor it over. check which plug or all for spark.
coils are only 20-30 bucks. ignitors, same. coils can be tested cold. ignitor are not tested. simply replaced. so what ever you find, don't buy a complete distributor for hundreds of bucks. all internal components can be had for 30 or less individually.
to test or replace distributor components, go here,
10mm socket/wrench, cross point and flat blade screw driver and an ohm meter is needed for testing.
-----------
another cause of no spark condition on all plugs is the timing belt is toast. this is a non interference type engine. so no internal engine damage will occur from timing belt loss itself. to see if there, still attached (does not mean it didn't slip), remove distributor cap and motor the engine over. the rotor should turn. again, only means the belt is there. not that it may or may not need attention.
----------
always best to use a reputable ASE shop or the dealer. for this issue, local shop would be the way to go.
