Question 1986 245 No spark :(

Hi all! I am new to the forums because I need help with my 1986 Volvo 245 with a stock b23 and 4 speed. It was converted over to the EZK 117 Wiring harness in preparation for a turbo and to resolve issues with the original harness! Since then however, I have been getting no spark! Prior to replacing the ignition system and harness, it was running. Here are some of the parts I've replaced to try and get it running;
Coil
Distributor
Cap
Rotor
Plugs
Wires
Ignition Powerstage module
Relays
ICM

I have done extensive electrical testing and I just can't seem to get it figured out! I was curious if anyone else had a similar issue? Any tips are also appreciated! Thanks so much!

I have no idea. But, you threw a lot of parts at it.

Make sure that you have continuity to ground, all over the place. Make sure that it is getting 12v....all over the place.

When you do so much to a car, then it becomes impossible to sort things out as now it's your own creation. You have to examine everything you did, every part you put in there, etc, especially the harness, the turbo preparation, etc.

Normally the EZK 117 was paired with the LH 2.4 fuel injection system. Both used the signal from the Crank Position Sensor to determine timing for both spark and fuel injection. Normally an '86 had the LH 2.2 fuel injection system that used the hall sensor in the distributor to determine the same timing information.

So when you converted over to EZK 117, how did you provide the timing signal?
