Default No fire from coil.....

Ok, After tinkering with my msd distributor, I am now getting no fire from my coil. I put in a new coil and guess what happened absolutly f**king nothing. Any have any clues to what is going on? I had replaced the ignition module about 5 months(?) ago so i'm doubting its that. I hate my car.......

do a resistance test on the ICM, and check the ICM to see if its getting signal from the PCM to see if its even sending a signal.

well, I know you changed the icm 5 months ago. but when mine went out I was not getting any spark to the coil, maybe it went out again. it should be under warranty for a year I believe. but I am leaning towards the icm..
