No spark from coil. Coil and relays test ok.

you most likely need a new ignition module, could just be a coil though... ign module should be seperate on that year, but i believe the only way you can get it now is with a distributor, so youll need one of those,and a new coil

Is there any way to confirm that? How would I test the ignition module?

Default RE: crank position sensor

Thanks for your responses. Ok, just to clarify. Starter spins. When I pull the coil wire off at the distributor and crank the starter, I get no spark (grounding the coil wire out, of course). I pulled the coil and had it tested by my parts guys. It's supposed to be fine. From that, I have to assume the fault lies before the coil. Any suggestions? Could that still be the ignition module.
