I drove my car to work today and it ran like chit like always and I went to work thinking nothing of it. When I came out and tried to start my car all it did was try to turn over. So I called a friend and we got some tools and I found out that I had no spark coming from my coil. So I changed the coil, but still no spark. What are some possible problems that would cause my situation?

OMG dude there are several things that will make these motors start!
1.) What test did you do to see there was no spark coming from the coil?
2.) TFI and the Hall effect sensor are always suspect.
3.) Is the motor cranking/turning over and there is just no spark?

Yep, the motor is just cranking and no spark. I took the wire that comes out of the coil and touched it to the body and cranked the motor, but no arc. I switched coils, but same problem. Tried a different wire, no arc. So I'm guessing my TFI module is shot. I'm going to try testing that next.
