My car has been down at the paint shop. So its time to take it into the booth and car wont start now.Background. 93 coupe with complete 89 donor switchover. Every wire and harness, computer and literally everything from the 89. Everything works. Parked car at the paint shop. Started it a couple months ago. Let it run. Shut it down and left it. 3 months later go to start. Crank but no fire. Got fresh gas, rechecked timing, put another distrubutor in it, checked the coil. Nothing. No spark. Thinking its a ground or computer. Any help out there?

Not the ignition coil either. Put my msd coil and distributor into another car and it runs. Im thinking no signal to coil or distributor. I may need a wiring schematic for this one.

No spark? Maybe the TFI Module?

Car has been by itself. I actually had the computer checked and it was good. I really think its a ground or non touching wire. I wish i knew which wire to start at. Anybody know which under column wires send spark refence? Color of wire would be great.89 california automatic car.
