First we have to troubleshoot this to see where your problem is.
You say there is not even a spark when you try to ignite it.
Can you see any spark at all when your pushing the igniter? Try it a couple of times - you should see a bright spark. that way we know it is at least getting a spark to the pilot. May have to dim the lights a little to see it better.
At 13 years old - that's a pretty good water heater, a lot of them don't last that long.
Can you post any pics of your water heater so we can see it?
Stay tuned, there will be others joining the post shortly.
