no spark?

So I bought a wagon for $200 that had been sitting for four years broken down. I got it home and replaced the starter single fuse and it fired right up(well after a few attempts) and I drove it around the block turned it off. When I went to start it back up it wouldnt start, it kept turning over but wasnt getting spark. So I pulled back into my garage and have been tinkering with it. I checked all the fuses under the dash and hood. After that I replaced the dizzy, but still no spark. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Possibly the ignition?

    You should give a little more info like year, engine,rt,2wd, 4wd, etc.

    Check spark, fuel, compression

    I would get out my volt meter and start testing all ignition parts, do a fuel and compression test, pull your spark plugs see what color they are that will tell you a lot about what your motor is doing, test pins where the harness plug into the ecu, check the fuel filter if the car was sitting for awhile the old gas will turn into a gel and clog the fuel system.

    That's a few tips I can check back with some more ideas later. Good luck
