Default Still having major ignition problems

I have posted a few topics on this and have been trying to figure this out for 3 weeks. I goin nuts not driving the lude. I decide I need to get a new coil because I am getting a hesitation especiallt in the higher rpm range, and because my strut bar chafed some of it off. Anyway a stock one was $100 so I bought a blaster 2 coil.. Hooked it up wrong because I was stupid and just tried to figure the 3 wires out on my own. Either way I got the car to start after a while and the rpms went nuts and the the car died. I havent got to start it up yet. I got a new coil thinking I blew the old one up. I get the new one and hooked it up according to what msd tech said and still the same thing. The car just turns over but no spark. I do have fuel pressure, I have 12 volts and a good ground going to the coil when the ignition key is on and no spark out of the coil. So I have narrowed it down to somewhere from the coil back. I even thought my computer was shot so I swapped it aout and the same thing happened. Any suggestions. Sorry for the long explanation but I figured I say everything. Thanx

Do you have an oscilloscope to check the output off the computer? See if you actually have any signal, or try getting ahold of a stock ignition and get it running properly with that first.

Make sure the wires connecting to your ignitor are secure. Its a common Honda problem and is sometimes overlooked. There should be 4 wires going to the ignitor. Make sure they are not loose and clampt them down hard. That should solve your starting and missing problems at high rpms..

The ICM (ignitor) might be just dead.
