Have you tested for spark? I would also check the main relay.

I checked for spark with the screw driver in the spark plugs. I got no spark from none of them. I have not checked the relay yet

simple way to see i yor getting fuel is to loosen the bango bolt on te fuel filter unde the hood and see if fuel comes out when yo put the key to the run position (make sure the clutch is in not sure if it matters but better safe then sorry) that is if u dont have a guage

What ECU?

CEL codes?

Does Blk/Yel wire attached to coil get battery voltage?

Does the fuel pump prime?

I was giving a p28 ecu. Sometimes the check engine light clicks while cranking sometimes it don't come on, but i did not check the codes. I haven't been home in a few days to check for fuel pressure. But would that really affect the spark.

Crank the engine for 30 seconds and afterwards leave the key in the ON(II) position without turning it off. Then jump the service connector to check for CEL codes.

Rather than measuring fuel pressure, start by telling us whether the fuel pump primes for 2 seconds when the key is turned from off to ON(II).

Next check whether the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil inside the distributor has battery voltage with key in ON(II).
