Default HELP, My Car Died and Won't Start

(I'm new to this forum. I don't know if I'm in the right spot, but i hope someone can help.)
Help, my car died and won't start. I was going down the road and the car just died. I was haves trouble with it a few days before. Every time i hit a bump it would died. (But it would restart). Now, It just won't start. It turns over. the timings good. Its getting gas, but no spark. I pulled off number one spark plug and turned it over and there's no spark.
I had the ignition coil checked, that's good. I changed the rotor and the cap. I bought the ignition control module, and the magnetic pick up, for the disturber. I haven't put them two on yet. What one is the most likely one to go out? What else is there to make a car died while running and not start. And all the fuses are good. Someone please, please, Help.

battery cables won't kill a car, the alternator will take over while it's running, it sounds like the tfi or the wiring harness going to it. make model year,? 91 and up don't have a dizzy.
