You may have an open circuit or short. Short at the module and work backwards following the wires looking for and issues like bare wires, pinched, cut or even burnt.
If by 'no fire' you mean no spark, check all of your fuses, and have the ignition module (located under the coil packs) checked. Autozone can usually check the ignition module for free. If it has spark, it could also be the fuel pump going out.
MAKE SURE DISTRIBUTOR COIL IS GETTING POWER.IF NOT.CHECK IGNITION FUSE.IF FUSE IS GOOD AND COIL IS GETTING POWER.REMOVE COIL AND CHECK THE COIL PRIMARY RESISTANCE USING A DIGITAL VOLTMETER. IT SHOULD BE 0.1 OHM.SECONDARY RESISTANCE SHOULD BE 5000 TO 25000 OHMS..IF COIL PASS ITS THE IGNITION MODULE.IF COIL FAILS.COIL IS BAD.
Check your Automatic Shutdown Relay in your fuse and relay box under the hood by the battery. The power supplied to the fuel pump, ignition coil, fuel injectors, and parts of the power module is controlled by the logic module through the Automatic Shutdown Relay (ASD); the idea is to shut off fuel pressure and the ignition systems when the key is turned off to prevent fires, dieseling, and other problems. The ASD relay is closed (allowing power to flow through it) when the ignition is first turned on. If the signal from the ignition reference is lost while the engine is running, the logic module cuts power to the ASD, which in turn removes power from the fuel pump, ignition coil, injectors and those parts of the power module. This causes the engine to shut down. The logic module monitors the relay driver. If it senses that the relay driver is not responding correctly it will trigger a code. If the logic module does not sense an absence of current when the circuit is open, or 12 volts DC when the circuit is closed, it knows that the circuit is open or shorted, and triggers code 42. Failure of the automatic shutdown relay is often shown as inexplicable stalling or refusal to start. Good luck and hope this helps lead you in the right direction. Hint: The ASD can be triggered by a broken wire or short in another place, e.g. the fuel pump.
