Check codes, and see what it is. Even though there is no check engine light there still might be a code stored.

Coil Pack Test
1) Pull the end of a spark plug wire off the spark plug (leave it attached at the coil pack).
2) Use a "safety" screwdriver, one with a rubber or plastic handle cover. DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL PART OF THE SCREWDRIVER!!
3) Put the screwdriver in the unattached end of the plug wire, and hold the rest of the screwdriver near a metal surface.
4) Have a friend crank the engine over and see if sparks jump from the screwdriver and the metal it's close to.
5) Yellow sparks may mean a weak coil pack, or a bad plug wire. Blue sparks should mean everything is ok... It’s a little risky (getting shocked), but as long as you don't touch the metal part of the screwdriver, you should be fine.

If they work check the plugs and wires.

if you arent getting power to the coil, just run some temporary power wires to the coil for now and then fix it when you get a chance.

Just be sure to take the wires off when you shut it off, if you can.

double check your fuses and relay. sometimes they are hard to see that the fuse is blown.

I'm a newbie to the rotary engine but I would just call a cab! Every time I think i fixed something this rotary starts showing its behind. Call a cab so you dont lose your job. Lol...

Really call a cab!

Naw i'm just messing with you.

Does everything (else) work when the ignition is in Run? Idiot lights on, signals, heater/fan (logicon), etc.?

How do you know it's a spark issue - did you have a timing light on the spark plug wire to show you this?

Just in case it's fuel related, if it works, turn ign. on (RUN), jumper the yellow fuel pump test connector near the AFM, and listen if fuel is running through the fuel rails.

Check Main and Circuit Opening Relays as per FSM.

Lastly, make sure no fuel or spark cutoff switch has been tripped by mistake (someone else could have installed one).
