my 1989 chev. celebrity fails to start. I replaced the coils, wires, and plugs. The engine has good compression and the fuel pump is good. The fuses are good. I have tested the wires, and plugs individually and no spark at all.

The most coomon cause of no spark on this model is a crank shaft position sensor failure, in order to test it you must remove it, it is attatched to the ignition module (where your coils are mounted) this is a complex job and if not performed properly the sensor can break and get stuck in the back of the engine block, if you are willing to take that chance let me know and I will send you detailed instructions on how to do it.
