The ignition key must be turned to ON(II) to check for power at the coil. As mentioned, if there's no power in this case, check whether fuse 39 or 41 under the hood is blown. If the fuses are fine, then check the ignition switch and whether the Blk/Yel wire running between the coil and ignition switch is damaged.

if im not mistaken the power for the dizzy is triggered by the main relay same as the injectors.

i know for sure it is the 2 wire plug at the firewall drivers side by the headlight box and its blk/yellow wire id check for power there

No, the main relay does not control power to the dizzy.

I higly recomend checking all your fuses under your dash VERY well...I had this problem and replaced the dizzy and every part in it and check my fuses three times. Still no spark. I went back and checked the fuses one last time and there was a tiny split in one of them. I forget what fuse it was but once i replaced it the car fired right up. Check them closely
