Welcome to the forum, did you check the coil primary circuits? Pink wire is voltage, goes hot when you turn on the key. Use a testlite, is there voltage?

Engine cranking, the white wire should have a pulse on it. How long since a tune-up? Any codes?

Right now, it sounds like the ignition module or pick-up coil. I believe that was your thinking as well? Using a digital multimeter on the voltage setting may not show a pulse, some meters will average the reading between high and low. Probably if you took a reading on the pink wire, engine cranking, the voltage reading would be the same as the white wire.
