Have you checked the resistance of the Crankshaft Position Sensor. It should read between 680-1200 ohms across the center pin and outer shield in the connector cable at the Ignition Control Module.

The position sensor is installed on the crankcase above the starter flange. When the engine is rotating, an alternating voltage is produced in the position sensor as a result of induction. 1.5v is produced at starter speed and as the engine speed increases, the voltage rises to approx. 3v.

If the Ignition Control Module does not receive a signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor, the ignition system is inoperative.

So, if you are getting good spark on the spark plugs, then I would think that your Ignition Control Module is ok. If not, then check the Crankshaft Position Sensor or the Coil.
