You either have wiring issues related to the pickup coil inside the distributor & the ignition module, or either one of those parts is bad again.
The ignition module provides the ground for the coil, and the pickup coil is responsible for the coil & injector fire timing.

I traced that wire thats soposed to be the ground off the coil with a wireing diagram and it goes to the tach and i didnt find any breaks in that i did go ahead and replace the ignition control module with a new one as it wasnt really expensive any ideas how i could check the pickup in the distributor ?
