Cranks but no start this morning

92 camaro with 350 engine was running fine last night. Whet to start it this morning and all it does is crank. Fuel pressure guage I have on aftermaket regulator shows good fuel pressure. Could a malfunction of the VATS system prevent the injectors from firing?

Take your distributor cap off and see if that and the rotor are cooked.

No security light flashing.

Did some checking this evening. I am getting no spark out of the coil. I am getting 12 volts to the coil. Unhooked the harness to the distributor at the coil and have not power there. So would you think a bad coil or a bad module in the distributor? Thanks.

Was a bad ingnition control module. Put in a 20 year old one and it runs better than the 4 month old one from JEGS ever did. Good quality JEGS.
