I got a 94 Toyota Celica ST I think it is. 1.8l only. Nothing special, all stock. I was driving on the road one day and it died while I was driving. Couple weeks prior to that, I replaced the old altenator to a new one due to a burning spell from the altenator. Tested and fully charged the battery and it was still good. A fried of mine thinks it's not getting no spark at all and it might have something to do with the coil or something like that? Can anyone throw some ideas as to what I need to do to get this fixed? Any helpful ideas/suggestions will be much appreciated.

Yeah you might want to check your distributor cap and rotor to see if they've worn out or if any moisture is in there, just wipe it down and reinstall. If oil got into the cap then it shows signs that the cam seals may be leaking, you can wipe it down too and reinstall to drive, but it's not going to solve your problem of leaking oil. Otherwise do a quick spark plugs check to see if there's any moisture on them first. Also check your coil to see if it's out of spec, a few numbers off and it may just stop the motor. If all is good, it should almost rule out the spark system.
