When the problem first occurred I took the wire extending from the coil and put the end of a screwdriver up to it and had someone turn the key. There was no spark. Does that mean the problem's somewhere before the distributor?

My 1987 pathfinder will no longer fire. It does turn over. I'm pretty sure no spark is getting to the distributor. Before the problem became permanent, the car was having trouble accelerating. I would push down the gas and the car would sputter and groan for a few miles before finally normalizing. The month prior to the problem we experienced a TON of rain, and that might have something to do with it? Any ideas?
