90 Celica no fire out of coil

My Celica is running great, I drove about 30 miles and the car started hesitating to run, I was in heavy traffic, I could hear rattling sounds which appeared as though they were coming from the heater. I stopped at a stop light and I could tell something was burning out. I have lots of power, car is very fast. I went to the next stop light and the car died, it started and I went to the next stop light with plenty of speed and the car died and would not start again. I tried starting the car for 3 hours, no fire from the coil.
I have no spark out of the coil.
I am confident the coil is good. I have 2 coils. I went to the salvage lot and purchased an "igniter" (ignition module) for $35. I installed it on my Celica, still no fire out of the coil.
I have a relay under the glove box that clicks when I crank over the engine.
The engine cranks over very well for over 3 hours.
I have an after market alarm.
Why do I not have spark out of my coil?

Re: 90 Celica no fire out of coil

If you don't have one, buy a new Toyota (DENSO) coil and see if that does the trick. Some coils are really inadequate.
