Like I said, I have power to the coil, but no fire from it. I swapped another good coil and it does the same thing. Is something wrong with the pickup coil or ignition module? I just replaced the ignition module 2 months ago. WTF is going on? PLEASE help... my babe is stranded along side the interstate

Did you use a Delco module for the replacement? If not I would immediatly suspect it.

No I didn't use a AC Delco replacement. I got a lifetime warrantied one from Autozone.... That was probably a bad move. How much are the GM ones? Well I have another new module and a new pickup coil. Hope to get it running tonight......

Expect to pay around $40 for one from GM, well worth it since they very rarely fail.
