Check for ignition spark-No spark

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

When all else fails. KISS Changed out plugs/wires. VaRoommm. Looked at pics of plugs on site and decided that they looked carbon fouled. Should have fired with ether. That was it. Carbon fouled ! Thanks for the help.
