1989 Ford Probe 2.2Ltr Turbo.

I have a 1989 Ford Probe GT with a 2.2 turbo 4 cyl. Car has 145,000 Km's. Engine does not start! Have verified fuel & air as good. Spark plugs are not getting voltage from coil. Have verified that coil is good and that 12VDC switched is present at coil. Have tried a new coil for the heck of it with no new luck.

Where chould I look next?

Probably the Ignition Control Module.

Finally got to fixing this. For the record the fault was in the fuse panel. After further fault finding, voltage at the coil was dropping to 2VDC when the engine was cranked. The engine fuse clip in the fuse panel had a crack. When current was demanded, the clip was breaking contact with the fuse.
