The van stalled while driving on the highway. Will not start now. Engine cranks fine, but no spark is being produced. We tested for spark by pulling a wire off and using a tester. Fuel pump comes on fine. Checked fuse and relay, and both are fine. This model has an internal coil, that seems to be ok (not sure how to test). Replaced the dist cap and button. I'm thinking possibly the coil or maybe the ignition control module. Any suggestions? Thanks.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/COP/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.
