opened it up for the first time, then POOF!

[Subie_Tech_Intl]

I was out three days ago when I happened to find an open road, no houses, no people.. just wide open road. I decided to get on it... open it up for the first time since buying this car. I didn't stop to launch hard.. just an easy rolling start from about 10-15mph. By the time I got to 3rd at about 5k I noticed that there was no more pull.. but I stayed on it hard. I tried to get to 6.5k. That's when it happened. Soon as the tach hit 6k, poof!.. bye bye throttle response. The RPMs dropped to zero. I managed to pull over, where I then shut off the car. I checked for leaks.. nothing. So I tried to start it up. It turns over strong.. sounds like it wants to start but it doesn't start. I had it towed to a local mechanics house. He said that he checked and replaced the coilpack, wires and spark plugs (gapped) and crank sensor... but still no spark. My car knowledge isn't this deep. Can anyone help me out here? Should I just take this opportunity to replace the whole ignition with MSD parts.. and if so what parts should i get for an autocross/roadrace/DD setup?

I bought mine 2nd hand, and didn't have to pay to get forum access.

I just had to give the serial number off the chip and what I wanted the username to be.

I'm with you on that I didn't have to pay anything but send an email with serial number and the user name. As for the no spark issue have you checked the power transitor yet?
