No spark from the coil or no spark to plugs? If coil check ICM and pickup coil in dist, might not be sending a pulse to the ignition coil.

No power on the pink wire = no chance of spark

Time to track back and find out why. Might be something as simple as the ignition switch, might be a wiring problem including something wrong with the bulkhead connector.
