Pull a plugwire off and and see if spark jumps out when you spin the engine over.
Next press the fuel pressure port shrader valve and see if you have some fuel pressure.
These are 2 simple things you can do to determine what system is at fault and then we can go from there.
Sorry about the delay in reply, I just now today had a chance to go out and work with the car (besides I just got it back from the 5th repairman to look at it a few days ago)

Anyways, I checked it out and none of the spark plugs are getting any spark, so it looks to be the problem. However, the ignition module checks out fine, spark plugs and the wireset were recently replaced, the igniton coils ohmed out okay, and the housing assembly has a small burn spot, but its not burned all the way through, so I doubt it could be that. Also the connector to the module is getting voltage, any ideas on where to go next?
