My wife came home from work. Car was running fine. She goes to leave a few
hours later, car won't start. Battery is good and strong. When I turn the
key I have all the lights I should, and the car cranks and cranks, just
won't fire. I have fuel, have tested the coil packs, coil pack cover,
plugs and plug wires (if that's what you want to call them) Everywhere
I've checked says they can't check my particular ignition module,
something about the leads so it's going to take them a couple weeks to get
them. I also tried to do some testing of the module. It has three pins in
the back side and I believe 7 or 8 in the front. One pin of the small
connector is giving me readins for three of the other pins when I was
checking resistance and continuity. I also tested my crankcase positioning
sensor. My old one only read about 550 Ohms, the new one, after it was
installed and tried to start the car reads about 650 Ohms. Can anyone
think of anything that I haven't.

We just went through a problem almost identical to this with my sons car.
We ended up replacing the ignition module - it was about $90 at the local
parts store.  so far - knock wood - it's been working great.

Thanks for the input. That's what I'm hoping it is, just wish the test
leads would come in so I could check it for sure. Parts place said I can't
return it if I plug it in. Unfortunately it's $130 plus tax for this car.
