850 not getting fire from distributer to plug wires.

Alright trying to help a friend out with his 95 850 glt. Changed coil out and still not getting fire to plug wires. Distributer is not cracked. Could faulty TCU or ECU cause this issue?

Is the coil making spark, but its not getting out of the cap? That would point to the rotor.

If you mean no spark at the coil, I would suspect the cam position sensor (more common) or the crank sensor (less common).

Coil is making a spark but that's where it ends.

Change the cap and rotor.

Rule #1 of diagnosing issues with your Volvo: it is not your ECU, ECM, or computer. (Hope you don't mind me quoting you, abscate!)
Might be the rotor.
