1985 Oldsmobile Firenza Not running

Electrical problem
1985 Oldsmobile Firenza 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 100000 miles

I have a 1985 Olds Firenza that a short time ago started cutting out. About a week later it quit running. Fuel is good. No spark to spark plugs. I took the coil and ignition control module to an auto parts store to be tested. Was told the coil was bad but when I replaced it it didn't help. Would relly appreciate any help. Thanks,

If you have a tachometer, check the tach wire for grounding on metal, this will prevent the car from getting spark., what did the parts store say about the ignition module?
