I have a 1992 Saturn SL2 and am not getting any spark out of the driver side coil pack. I have replaced the coil and have had the control module tested and have not had any luck. Checked all of the spark plugs and wires all seem to be operating well. Drove the car everyday and went out to start and it would not start. Engine rotates but will not fire. Any thoughts on tracking the electrical nightmare.

I have thought that as well but i am still getting spark out of the other coil pack. Maybe i am wrong but wouldn't the cranksahft position sensor not allow any spark. Willing to try, is there a way to test the crankshaft position sensor. I am also getting a second testing of the control module.

If your getting spark then the CPS is fine.
Try cleaning all the contact points on the module. These are important for grounding.
