What does "getting fire to the coil but not pushing out and its grounded" mean?

Bad ignition module or p/u coil.

If your not getting spark from your ignition coil to the distributor, try unplugging the 4-pin connector going to the distributor ICM and check for spark. If you have spark with the 4-pin connector unplugged you have a bad Ignition module. If your still not getting spark check for 12v going to the coil at key-on and also make sure the coil is solidly mounted.
Any codes being set when you try and start the car?
