But I was not surprised, the car would not start.

There are two situations under which to test for power at the coil (or the diagnostic connector):
1) Key ON, engine not cranking.
2) Key ON and engine cranking.
There should be power at the coil under both conditions. If there is no power at coil when engine warm and cranking (situation 2), look to the key switch as the likely suspect. If, however, there is power when warm & cranking, look to the ignition controller (EZL).
