I have a Saab 900s 97, convertible. The car won’t start, it has no spark, I already changed the ignition coil and the distributor.  
  
 What else can I do? I really need it.

Check to see if the ignition system is getting power to it. If that is ok then you might have an ignitor problem if your system has one.
