Need help badly!!!

Ok my car has been running just fine the last few months, but I was out the other day sitting at a light and click the car just shut off on me???
So I found that I don't have any spark. So I replaced the cap, rotor, icm, coil, and I still don't have spark!!! I took a test light to the coil plugs (Gray and Black) and turned the key to on. They all showed that they were getting power. But when I checked the coil to distributor cap wire it doesn't show any kind of power??? I'm out of ideas so does anyone else out there have any??

Re: Need help badly!!!

if youre not getting power from the coil to the cap, take one of your other wires and run it from the coil to cap. if the car starts, then you need new wires.
