Question 95z No Spark

New to message board. Whats UP??? I have a question for you guys. I was recently trying to install an MSD box. The first mistake was trying this without the plug and play harness from MSD. I decided to wait till I get the Harness and reconnected everything back to original. Car wont start. I think I burnt up the OPti-Spark some how. I have no power to the connector going into the coil amplifier and all fuses check O.K. Keep in mind that when I was installing the MSD the fuse for ignition (under the hood blew). I replaced it and it still wont fire. What am I not seeing?

Thanks

Check the fuse in the passenger compartment on the side of the dash on the driver's side...

Re: 95z No Spark

I now believe that it is the coil. For some reason when cranking the engine I have power on all three wires at the dual plug connectors at the coil. The one white wire with the black stripe should be a negative. With power being on all three wires I am guessing that I have an internal short at the coil.(Pink and pink with black stripe and white with black stripe all have power when cranking)

I pulled the coil wire from the Opti. Dead, no spark.
