#1 cause of no spark at the spark plug is a failed crankshaft position sensor. They can be tested but testing is not always conclusive. If you buy one, buy a genuine Mopar as aftermarket crank sensors are "hit and miss" with a lot of miss.]

The coil itself can be tested for both primary and secondary resistance values with a meter and a manual.

Start there.....
