check and see if you are receiving power to the coil first.with the fanbelt problem you could have knocked the wire leading to the coil off.then check the negative side of with a power probe when you crank the car the negative side should ground the break ground. if this is not happening then your down to a crank sensor. or just a bad coil.

does the motor turn when trying to start it? or are you getting the starter click?

if the motor spins... coil or crank sensor will cause no spark conditions, as well as a dead pcm. do the key on-off trick to get the codes out of the pcm and let us know what codes your getting.

If you suspect the new stereo system you installed, try removing power from the stereo system and see what happens.
