Default Faulty ignition feed

According to the tests I did from the FSM It looks like I may have a faulty ignition feed circuit to the coil or a grounded external coil circuit which is causing my no spark. Can anyone explain what these mean, thanks. Bty the coil and icm check out ok and I have just put in a new opti. The coil spark was very weak and there was no plug wire spark before I changed it.

Check the 10A fuse in the Instrument Panel Fuse Block on the pass. side. for Coil Fuse. That feeds power to the ignition coil and other components. You should have power with the key on to the coil on the pink wire.

This is assuming it is the same as a 93.

Do check this. My car has this as well. I take them out and clean/grease with dielectric grease.

Looks like it's below the battery, is it?

Yes there are two blocks close to the battery, one just behind it and one in front by the wheel well gasket. I have been reading your post and i think you should stick with your C4. I have been having alot of problems with mine lately also but i am enjoying learning about it, i just hope i get to drive it this summer.

I don't have any in those areas. My coil and ecm fuses are on the passenger side panel. I checked for volts at the coil plug harness like 93 Rubie suggested and there are 0 volts. Problem must be from there to the ecm.
