Thanks.

Re: No spark!
Just wanted to explain what I found to be the problem for documentation purposes and to help others reading the post in the future or using the Search function like I did.
I tested my computer in another car and it ran fine so I knew that the PCM was fine.
I then swapped the cable from the opti to the pcm from his car (mine was coroded but still had good continuity) to my car and it started right up!
Only thing needing to be replaced is the cap and rotor on the opti and the opti harness.
Hope that helps someone. BTW, I am now seeing between 1-7 volts alternating current at B terminal on the ICM connector.

Re: No spark!
I have been having a similar problem with mine. It started acting up after a opti swap (attempting to cure a "phantom" rev limiter). It starts occasionally, and I checked the opti harness with an ohm meter and it showed good. It started up when I had the harness unwrapped but then wouldn't after I put it all back together.
Guess I need to try a new harness out and hope it cures the ills. Heck, maybe that is what is giving me a false rev limit all along!
