either way Id look at that first but also those Renault engines did suffer from condensation build up inside the distributor cap a lot of the time preventing starting.
It cant be the inhibitor switch if the engine is spinning over with the starter motor .

Best guess Is no spark due to faulty RENIX ... These cars just don't break down ! :-)

I suppose she is pulling the choke out ????
