Default Still NO Saprk!!??? could it be the computer?

So i changed the coil, TFI ingnition module, cap and rotor, fuel filter, and checked the ohms of the coil wire and the #1 wire. The coil wore was a little below 5000, is that a bed sign?? the #1 wire was between 5000-7000. is that where it needs to be?? Is the main computer most likely the problem after all this?? Is there anything else in that engine that i should check or replace before i bring it to a mechanic?? I rely greatly on the insight from you guys, Thanks alot!!

if you don't have spark at the end of the plugs or the coil you need to check the pick up /stator in the coil...a quick easy check to see if the stator may or may not be working would be if you had a noid light to pull an injector plug and crank it if the light flashes the stator is probably working if not could be the problem if you don't have a noid light then take a test light and hook it in from 1 lead on the injector harness and touch the test light to the other side while cranking......this is a quick test to point you in the right direction of where the problem lies

Easy enough to check that
Do a quick check self test
-Pull the codes
If it doesn't make it past the first self test...it's toast

There's two parts to this procedure (to do it properly), did you do them both?

The easiest way to eliminate the computer is to remove the PIP connector. If you have spark it's the computer, if not I'm willing to bet it's the pick up coil.
