Default coil pack not firing

hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me out i have a 95 mits eclipse 2.0 dohc and it won't start we have changed out the cam angle sensor the coil pack and the knock sensor but we have figured out that the coil pack is not putting fire out what so ever thats why we replaced the other coil pack but its still not putting out any spark what could it possibly be it was running about a week ago and i started it it sputtered a little bit and then died and hasn't started ever since but it is getting fuel but no fire so can someone give me some suggestions on what it could be thanks

ok i called around to see if i could find some help on where the ignition control module is and they said there is not one on the 96 model but one of my friends told me on some cars if the fuel pump burns up that the car has a relay that when the pump burns up it triggers that relay to make it to where the car won't get spark is there any type of relay like that on the 95-96 model eclipse? and if so where?

figured out why it wasn't getting spark there is a relay by the fuel pump relay and one of the prongs on the connector was bent we bent it back and hooked it back up and the car started right up this just shows how little and stupid something could be to make a car not start thanks for everyones advice and all of the help i greatly appreciate it

Thanks for posting up the solution. It always seems to be the simple things we forget to check
