You are jumping to conclusions. Slow down.
No spark AND no injector pulse indicates none of the desired outputs were triggered. The ignition module makes spark when it receives a crankshaft position sensor signal, and then transfers control of that spark to the computer after it starts. The module takes its crank sensor signal and generates an RPM count that it forwards to the PCM(main computer) which is used for triggering the injectors and controlling timing. SO, if you had a bad crank sensor OR a bad ignition module, you could lose both spark AND fuel. a coil would not disable injector pulse. modules RARELY fail in a manner that disables RPM reference to the computer causing it to not fire the injectors...At this point, I would TEST the crank sensor as the next step. If its easier, 1 of the wires on the module goes directly there so you can test the crank sensor at the module.
Testimonial: "great info, thanks!"
WELL, I was thinking of the later ones (forgot the older AC reluctors.) basic test is pop the cap, test the 2 wires from the pickup with the cap removed and the coils unplugged. If you see a strong ac signal (should be cycling positive and negative minimum of about 1v either way I think will fir it, but the mmore volts the better.). If the pickup has failed, you wont see voltage. UNPLUG IT from the module and test it unplugged. If there is now a good switching AC voltage, the module is cooked. If the voltage is still zero, your pickup has failed.

thanks, the ignition module is located in the distributor. I am not sure how to test the pickup coil inside the distributor, there are only 2 wires from the pickup to the ignition module.
