Hey Folks,  just for kicks,  and I've been here before and this diag was
new to me after 35 years.

My first guess with what I've rend, would be the ECU?   If that's the not
the case,  Pull the fuse box and pull the plug that has the primary power
supply to the coil.  I can't remember the pin, but it is a large red wire
with the circular pins in the rear of the fusebox.  See bentley for the
schematic and correct wire.   That pin will burn, corrode, etc. and loose
power to the coil and exhibit the same issue as a burnt ECU.  Everything is
perfect, everything works, everything in spec.  I felt beaten for a day or
two.  Then I ran power from the alt to the coil and POW,  fired up.  That;s
when I figured it out.  Yes, mine was burnt.

If this wasn't it, keep it in mind when your chasing your tail with a no
spark situation.

Good luck.
Peace,
Scott
