No spark on 88 jdm TII swap?

Im a new daddy to an 86 gxl with an 88 jdm tII engine, its supposedly ran before, the guy I got it from says good compression just not getting any spark now after sitting for almost 2 years, He thinks its the ecu. Im wondering if anyone has any ideas or where I can start, or if someone would let me pay for shipping from and to or in RENO, and swap it out see if it works before i spend alot more than shipping on another one. Well thanks for help, more problems will be questioned soon. Later
It does have the 88 ecu and wiring harness

ok first check if your rpms jump if they dont its a cpu check if you have spark on the top coil pack and one closes to the brake cylinder , no spark thats the computer . check if u have spark on the bottom coil next to the battery if it dosent spark you probably have a bad DIS usually if ur rpms dont jump and the top coil aint sparking its your computer.
