You can check to see if the computer is sending a signal to the coils to fire by using a multi-meter. Unfortunately I don't have a diagram for your connector. Maybe another tech on this site could help with that.

Also check all of your grounds. Some times a rusty ground will cause the computers to go crazy.

If there's still no signal to the coils, then I'd suspect the computer. But first, check that there's a reference voltage to the crank and cam position sensors. If that is also missing, then it's a sure bet the computer is bad.
