Well it started by having hard starts, then would start and run rough and die, then would not start at all. Dead, no spark. Yes I checked the ignition fuse in the under hood fuse box and it actually was blown. I thought that was my problem, but I put a different fuse in it that was good still no spark. Im checking spark at the plug from the plug wire. How do I know if the coil or opti that I have already changed out are even good. I hate eletrical problems! Pcm? Ignition control module? Dont know what to check or where to start. But I dont like guessing and wasting money. Im on disability and make VERY little money..

Check the wire that plugs into the opti. The one on my Firebird corroded bad and the car would not spark. I cleaned it with WD-40 and a wire brush. May not be the problem but it is free to check.
