ok let's make this short.

I just pickd up a 92 lx (5.0) with a "bad" coil pack
So I replaced it with a new one and it still doesn't work, I get no spark..

I tested the two wires RED & YELLOW and they work fine [Confused]

Anything else I need to check before I slam the Freak'n coil in the ground??

thanx

Could be a lot of things. Check the TFI module on the distributor. Also, check the coil wire going from the coil to the distributor.

distributor shaft could be snapped too inside the housing...

see if you can borrow a friend's or junkyard one and put in its

Could be the pick up sensor inside of the distributor. Try replacing the distributor.
