I don't know if the sharp corn has anything to do with your car dying.
To check for spark (works best in the dark) take a spark plug out and still have the wire hooked up to it, turn the motor over and see if a spark arcs across the points. If it does, you have spark, if it doesn't...
Then you might have blown your "fuse links" these are like fuses only they are a certain guage wire that "burns up" before the rest of your fuses and wires in your car do when you have too much current (amps).
These are USUALLY localed on the wires comming out of the starter or where ever the main power from your battery is located (usually off the starter). Use a light tester to probe the wire after the fuse link to see if it/they burned up. (they stop electrical flow when they burn up). Yours would probably be 16AWG (guage) i'm guessing.
If this is not your problem then power TO the ignition or the ignition stsyem itself is to blame. Come to think of it, probe the positive wires going TO your ignition to see if you have power FIRST BEFORE YOU CHECK YOUR FUSE LINKS!! if you don't have power to your ignition, THEN try the fuse links. IF YOU DO HAVE POWER TO YOUR IGNITION.....
You problem might lay within your computer, coil, or modual. OR dependent upon what happend, it might not be your ignition system at all.
This should give you enough to chew on for a while, let us know
