i'm not getting spark, i was going up the highway and it started to misfire and the CEL came on. i shut it down immediately, when i went to try and start it up again the CEL was gone and i wasnt flashing any codes. i started it it back up and everything was fine. when i go to start the car in the morning it was misfiring horribly and i got the CEL again and it was for teh crank angle sensor. so i take off the cap to see if there is any visible damage to the dizzy and my coil was cracked open and it was burnt inside. so i go to Vato-zone and get a new dizzy, i put it on and the car started for a few seconds and then shut down. now i'm confused because i'm not throwing codes, i'm getting fuel, but still no spark. my dad and i played with it for a while and we cant figure it out.

in case anyone asks,this is on a LS with i/h/e
