Why can't I get spark past the coil wire to the spark plugs after replacing the distributor cap and rotor of my 1995 Pathfinder Engine turns over but won't fire. Fuel flow is good.?

If i understand you ,you are not getting spark out of your distributer.Turn the wording around.You are not getting spark out of your coil to your distributor. Remove the coil wire off the rotor cap (distributor cap).leaving the coil wire connected to the coil,remove the end from the rotor cap. Hold end of wire you removed from rotor cap close to a metal part on the engine.Have someone crank the engine over for you. If you see,hear,or feel a jolt of electricty,the coil is working fine. If you are not getting any fire out of your distributir cap,replace the rotor and rotor cap.This would be a good time to replace the plugs and plug wires,if you have not with in the last 50,000 miles. Peoples ideas have different mileage,but this is in the ball park.
