As jakededert mentioned, your automotive terminology is pretty confused.

The spark does not go from the ignition to the coil. The current goes from
the coil to the distributor cap and then to the spark plugs, where the spark
is created.

The common meaning for "turn over" is a synonym for cranking the engine.
When you say "turn over," do you mean that the engine cranks but will not
start?

Why did you replace the ignition coil 3 times? Were the replacements an
attempt to get a spark? Were the ignition coils genuine Toyota parts or
aftermarket parts? Are the distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires, and
spark plugs genuine Toyota parts or aftermarket parts. Aftermarket parts
sometimes cause a weak spark or other ignition-related problems.

for an engine to run, you need air, fuel, and a source of ignition, all at
the appropriate times.

I recommend that you have the car professionally diagnosed.
