Welcome to the forum. Did you check for trouble codes or do any circuit testing, before replacing anything? Did you check for voltage at the ignition module, key on, pink wire should be hot, use a testlite. Engine cranking, it is the ignition module that controls spark. The ignition module needs signal from combination crank sensor. Lite blue wire with white tracer is ref voltage to the combination sensor. Dark blue wire with white tracer is ground. The other two wires at the combination sensor, there should be a pulse on those wires with engine cranking.
