Default aem problem -coil wont fire-

I have a 96 civic hatch with a h22 swap,the car has ran great for 3000-miles or so,but out of no where stalled on me.. I had it towed and it is not firing.. I have replaced the coil and ignitor,with no luck.. I have fuel,compression is good timing is good,but no fire....
I checked the aem unit while trying to crank the car and coil 1 always says off.Im getting start sync. Did it somehow get turned off,or is the coil output dead on the ecu?How can I check?

Thanks for any input...

I put a new igniter on it already with no change,will this test tell me if the problem is in my distributer or my ecu?

What is the part number of your unit? The older style units are known to have bad coil drivers. You can send it in to AEM for free updates and mods.
