Take the spark plug wire out and either put it next to the engine block or attach a spark plug to it. Crank the car over and look for spark.

I'm going through the same thing right now, I traced mine all the way to the ECU, so I had to order a new one, so I ordered one that is chipped and programmed.

There is an online repair manual. I put the link down at the bottom of the post all you need to do is put a jumper wire into the two wire diag. plug under the pass. side of the dash. then turn your ign. to the on position. count the flashes then look up the trouble code to start further diag. of the problem.
