Battery has a full charge and connections all good? Did you check primary voltage to ignition coil, pink wire, goes hot with key on? Use a test light to check for voltage on that wire. As you can see that circuit is fuse protected, ecm/ignition fuse. That fuse goes hot with key on. If no voltage at that fuse, with key on, that leads back to ignition switch. You would check feed to and from ignition switch. There could be other issues, at the moment, I'm just talking about primary voltage at the coil. If you have primary voltage at coil, then we move on to something else.
