Just curious... have you checked to see if you have fuel pressure?

That doesn't mean squat. If the pump isn't pressurizing the fuel enough, the vehicle won't start.
I've used pumps that wouldn't start the vehicle any longer to pump out the tank before putting in the new pump.
Replace with ACDelco/Delphi pumps only, unless you really enjoy replacing pumps.

Ignition module is good. I don't have 5 volts at the key. That is the problem. Don't know why that is.

So the coil is firing, but it's not getting to the plugs, sounds like you found your problem.

The problem is that spark goes into the cap but doesn't come out. Now how do I fix that? Thats the real problem.

If it has the proper wires going to/from the proper cap, through the proper rotor then it should be working fine. Something along those lines is non functional.

From what I've read the passlock Alarm can kill a vehicle. Just died driving down the road
