help!!!!!!!! my car won't start!!!!!!!!

i have an 88t2. it killed and then wouldn't start. so i thought it was just flooded. so i let it sit almost all day and it still wouldn't start. so i changed the plugs and had no luck. then i relized i was getting no spark, and no power from the ecu to the ignition system. every thing else works (radio, fan, etc.). and the fuses are all ok. i am thinking it is some kind of relay or something. does anyone know or have any ideas? thanks!

try to switch out ecus. borrow another from your friend or something. and check the interior fuses also. like the room fuse.

if you think it's a relay check out the main relay. it's ryte next to your trailing coils. little gold box. that controls ignition power to your coils and injectors.

Look at the forth row from the bottom on the fuse box. Third fuse from the left, on the fuse box in the car. In the engine compartment check the sixty amp fuse. You claim there is no power for the ignition system so that would be the 60amp in the engine bay which passes thru the third fuse from the left mentioned above. How did you determine there was no power from the ECU to the ignition system?????????
