This 1990 buick is testing my faith

I always prided myself in my faith. I have a 1990 buick lesabre that sure is nice, has only 63,000 miles but is just sitting in my driveway. (my only means of getting around). I am almost drained moneywise and am losing hope.
I replaced the battery, ignition coil and the computer module underneath, the starter, and the fuel filter . All the following are working because I've tested them: the fuses, relays, fuel injection.
The problem: When I tested the spark on top of the ignition coil, I found out I'm not getting any spark? That's why I can crank but get no indication the car even wants to start.
Any words of encouragement?

Get the specs for your vehicle and try retiming it.

why the hell would this kind of problem test your faith??
i don't get it...you think the higher power is causing your car to die??/ You said it yourself you have a 1990 buick lesabre, that's old enough for anyone to know that the car can suddenly not start for a reason...i'm not saying i know it but damn don't question your faith over a vehicle that can stop working.

Re: This car is testing my faith

well, first off, you say the coil has no spark? make sure the coil even has any power going to it. and also the polarity of the power.
