1993 Toyota Tercel NO SPARK...

Hey, I brought my Tercel in to my schools autoshop to check compression of the cyclinders and when we tried to start it after the compression check it wouldnt start...We found that there was no spark coming from the plugs at all. Could this be the ignition module or coil? I checked all the fuses and they were fine...I mean, is there a possibility one of these went bad from the cranking for the compression test...Any Ideas?

Thanks,Matt

ok, well i tested the igniter module harness and its not getting voltage. Does this mean its the ignition switch or the ECM? Again the car turns over (tries to start) but wont spark at the plugs, or in this case, even give power to the igniter module......Any ways to test the ECM or the Igniter Switch? Any other possibilities?

Thanks so much!

Well, I just had to replace the Dist. on my 92 with 257K on it. Went to the junkyard and paid $30.00 for one with a warranty. Damn thing just up and died on me one morning. One plug wire had a bare spot and the inside of the Dist. got smoked somehow.
