This can be caused by many things. Kill or ignition switch shorted, a wire to them gone to ground, ignition coil bad, stator bad, plugs. Need more info to determine cause. Check if you have spark on one plug if there are more than one.

What would cause one spark plug wire to arc to the engine at the spark plug boot?
bad spark plug wire.
What would cause 3 spark plugs out of 4 plugs to be smashed on the end?
Internal engine damage.
What would cause a 98 Oldsmobile intrigue from starting?
no gas entering piston chambers or no spark in the spark plugs. I assume the starter is spinning the engine?
Can a ignition coill spark but but still not fire engine?
As you did not say which vehicle this can only be a general answer Unlikely that a faulty coil would cause an engine to knock. Very possible it would cause bucking, if the coil is failing there would be a lack of spark. This would cause bucking/missfire, which may cause the engine to shake on it's mountings possibly causing a knock from contact with the vehicle frame.
Is the 1993 Honda xr100r a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke engine?
A 1993 Honda xr100r would have a four stroke engine.
What would cause a snowblower engine to flood with gas?
The most common problems would be a weak or no spark OR old bad gas.
Which stroke is occurring when the engine draws in fuel and air?
The intake stroke, number one in a 4 cycle engine.
Can worn spark plugs cause engine knock?
Worn spark plugs would cause mis-firing or non firing cylinders, both are no good for the engine, replacing the plugs may stop the knock (Could also be a different problem) But you should replace spark plugs as soon as possible.
Why would a 1996 dodge intriped not get fire?
Fire refers to spark in an internal combustion engine. When a vehicle's ignition switch is on, direct current voltage from the battery passes through wires to the coil which amplifies the voltage and the distributor passes this high energy to the spark plugs at the engine cylinders at a precise time as the piston approaches the top of its compression stroke. The spark plug has gap between its electrode and its grounded body. When the electricity jumps this gap, it makes a spark. A defect in any of these electrical components can cause the spark plug to fail to produce the required spark.
Is fuel for a two stroke engine fatal to a four stroke engine?
No it isn't fatal, but it would smoke quite a bit, because a two stroke engine needs two stroke oil mixed in the petrol, and a four stroke just needs petrol.
Would replacing spark plugs and wires cause service engine light to come on?
No, not unless your connect the plug wires wrong or one of the new spark plugs was bad.
What problem could the knock sensor cause on your car?
If the knock sensor failed the CEL (Check Engine Light) would be illuminated and the engine may "ping" or "spark knock" under load. Serious "spark knock" can damage the engine if allowed to continue.
