My IROC SUCKS!!! Help please!!!

I've been having problems with it idling rough and spluttering at part throttle, but last night on my way to work it all of a sudden died out and wouldn't start. It's getting fuel and cranks but it's not getting spark. I tried another control module (used) and nothing still. It was probably bad too but I figured I'd try it anyway. I know there's a way to check 'em with a ohm meter I just don't know how. Anyone know? Or if it's not the module what else can it be to cause a no-spark condition?

Oh yeah, I tried another coil also. Same thing

Could a clogged cat cause those problems.

Sorry I missed the part about no spark. Guess that's not the cat then.

Found the problem...bad module. Went to get a new module and while I was gone some a$$hole cop had it towed. Even though it was broke down and pulled to the side of the road he said it was a road hazard!!!! This sucks!!!
