96 1.8 starting problems - gvmllr

hi all i got my alternator changed on my bravo 1.8hlx a few weeks ago. when the new alternator was fitted the car wouldnt start. theres no spark coming from the coils. it just turns over. i got the crank sensor changed thinking it was that but still not sparking. i also changed the ignition module..still no spark. im not to sure weather it may be the ecu. everything on the dash is coming on and off as normal including the c o d e light. my mate who has dealt in cars for over 30years seems to think that it is a electrical fault somewere but i dont know..has anybody got any asnwers please...thanks.
