Do you have 12 volts going to the coil primary connections?

In that case, assuming it's a later model (you didn't post the year or engine) I'd go with a bad crank sensor, otherwise it's likely your PCM is fried.

The 1991 had a crank sensor, so yes check that out first.

Without the proper test equipment you pretty much just replace it.
