I've replaced the computer, crankshaft positioning sensor, distributer cap and module, spark plug wires. Since then I have had to replace the coil wire 4 times about every 3 months. It's having the same symptoms as it did when I had to replace the coil wire but this time it did not fix it. Can you please help me figure why the coil wire is burning out and why it didn't fix the problem this time.

No it does not have spark out and no it will not start. It did start once but immediatly died. Different ones said it was never the coil wire but everytime I replaced it, it would start and wouldn't give me trouble for several months and it would repeat itself.

Check for power at the coil dark green/orange wire-not there inspect and test the ASD relay.

Do you hear the fuel pump come on for a few secs? Also check fuse no. 16 20amp in the power distribution center-
