Unplug the ignition control module and see if all the terminals are clean.

Are you saying, when you have no spark you still have voltage at the coil ?

Have seen these modules get water in them and cause erratic action. I have pulled the covers off,lettum dry,silicon seal them good and hope it works!

If you have an Auto Store around that will test the module take the cap off pull the module and have it tested. Autozone will do it for free.
