Have you checked for trouble codes? There may be some stored in the computer without the light being on.

To access trouble codes, a test lead (white wire) and ground lead (black wire) are branched from the wiring harness under the center console near the ECM (
http://library.alldatapro.com/alldata/LIB~C5110~R0~OD~N/0/34870067/56620440/56620441/56620442/34853741/34857029/34857030/101367125). With the ignition "ON" connect these two leads together. The "Check Engine" light will begin to flash code 12. Code 12 consists of one flash, a short pause, then two flashes. After a longer pause, code 12 will repeat two more times. This check indicates that the on-board diagnostic system is functioning. If no other codes are present, the cycle will repeat until the ignition is switched "OFF."

I did that and i have all u describe what u think can cause it to give that low spark at the coil lead. with out a good spark the engin will not start, it get fuel the pressure is ok. do u think it can be the Control module in the distributer.

Yes it very well could be the module. should $20 or less, pretty easy to replace.
