try the crank sensor, this is where the spark gets its reading from. i'm assuming it has one, i'm in the uk so not familiar with your engine.

replaced the plugs, wires, cap , rotor, distributor, mass airflow sensor, computer, ignition module, coil, i went through and checked the wiring, redid a couple wires i felt were suspicious, but it has no spark.
it's a 1988.5 escort GT, has the 1.9litre HO engine. this thing has me pissed. the only thing not replaced yet is the pickup coil, but the new distributor came with one.
the timing belt is good, everything seems to be working properly...just NO spark!!!!!! i spent the day working on it, and came up with nothing.
