I have no power to my coil and am wondering if it is the computer module, but I don't want to buy one till I am sure it is the problem. How do I determine if it is the culprit ]?

Are you missing power anywhere else? Check primary voltage at ignition coil and fuel injectors, engine cranking, dark green wire with orange tracer. If nothing there, check your cam and crank sensors for proper operation.

Can you check for applicable trouble codes. To check codes, turn key just till dash lites come on, no further. Cycle the key, on--off, on--off, on, then the mil on the dash starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes, your looking for two digit codes. A code 55 means end of message. See if a code points us in the right direction?
