No Spark 88 New Yorker 3.0

[JimmySaunders]

Hi, I have no spark, and no power to the coil from the computer. I checked the coil and it shows zero volts at the positive side of the coil. I then used a jumper wire to the battery and still no start or spark to the coil secondary. I assume this means that there is also no trigger being made by the distributor, or computer. I'm wondering what would cause no Pos. or Neg. to the coil? Seems like a computer, but I get code 55 which indicates no computer issues. I'm baffled, as I could see the distributor going out causing the Neg side to not pulse, but the Pos is not getting power either, so I'm guessing computer. Anyone know of any other tests to try, before i replace a computer?
Thanks much,
Jim

I junked the car, so no big deal now. Thanks very much for the reply though, as I was trying to get it going for quite some time. I believe the wiring had problems, and I just didn't want to install a new harness.

Thanks again
