Could it be a crank/cam/knock sensor? Would they prohibit spark? The lousy Chilton manual I have doesn't provide a way to test a lot of the sensors without an oscilliscope!
I do not have a check engine light, but I also thought about trying to make the connections for one. Thanks again.

yes, lack of a cam or crank signal can cause a no spark condition defeinatly try to rig up the CEL
