Not Getting Spark

For the last month I have been having trouble starting the Starion. At first I could wiggle the knock box connector and it would sometimes start, and then run perfectly. It would also still start while the engine was warm (for about an hour after shutting off).

 

Now it doesn't start at all, and the cause is no spark. I replaced the pickup coil today but still no spark. I also checked some stuff I red about the knock box connector on the forums here:

 

With Key On:

- Red Wire gets +12V

- Blue/White wire gets +12V

 

With Key Off:

- No resistance between white wire and left side of pick up coil

- No resistance between black wire and right side of pick up coil

- Other black wire goes to ground

 

What else can I check? Any Suggestions?

If you get it going it's a good idea to keep a spare plastic knock box with screwdriver in the glove box. I did and it saved me from having to tow my SQ. Sitting at a light one day and the engine just shut off. Knock box was dead. Tossed in my spare and went home.
