Where are you checking for spark, at the plugs, ot the coil(s)? First make sure your coil is producing spark, if it is then it's most likely your spark plug wires that are the problem. If you've got no fire coming out of the coil then check to see if there is voltage going to the coil. If there is it's probably a bad coil, not that unusual on a 16 year old car. If there's no power to the car it gets more difficult. Crank position sensor, wiring harness, or the ECM could be the culprit. First check the connections to basically everything you can see under the hood that goes to the engine to make sure the connections are clean, dry, and tight. Look for loose grounds or broken/missing insulation. Since you mentioned no trouble codes I'm assuming there are none so the next most likely culprit is the crank position sensor. There is a way to test these that you can probably find on the web, but typically these parts are fairly inexpensive so most people just get one and install it. After that you need to be a pretty good tech to properly test to make sure the ECM is bad or you could try a local salvage yard and just try a different one. Just make sure you get one that matches the code numbers on the one in your car. It's usually a 7 or 8 digit number, zzz zzzz or zzzz zzzz. Typically you'll only find it on the same model year and only with the same engine. Hopefully you aren't the lucky owner of a California Only emissions vehicle. Some of those can be hard to find used parts for if you aren't in California. Good Luck.
Maybe an ignition fuse

That info requires wiring diagrams and we don't to have them here at fixya. Sorry
