1992 Camry LE No spark or fuel pump sound

Hi, have been working on this car off and on for the last few weeks. I was driving and it just lost power put it in neutral and and just spit and sputtered and died. Call Toyota service manager, and said it may be a coolant temp. sensor, changed that no luck, also changed fuel pump, it would run for a few seconds and die again. Looked at the old coil pack and could see a split in the resin and where it had been arking, so put in a new pack, fired right up, took it out for about 1 mile and started to smell somthing electrical, pulled it in the shop and saw smoke coming up out from under the hood, hurried up and popped the hood open, could not see any thing burning, figured it was the new pack, pulled that one out and replaced it with a better one, and now it just turns over no fire, nothing, pulled a plug out to see for sure. Could it possibly be the ignition module thats mounted to the fender? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

I heard aftermarket coils for Toyotas can be problematic.

Hi, tested all and they seem to be fine, still thinking it may be the ign. mod.. Thankx abunch.

See if you have a check engine light with the key 'on'. There might be something overlooked here.
I'll check back.

No check engine lights have ever come on since this has taken place. Also John 3:16 is was of my favorite verses. Thank you and God Bless

When you did the coil, it looks like you should have replaced the condenser in the dist also.
Now that you have been in there and disturbed things, the condenser has shorted. Plastic will be melted on it.
The under the hood fuse compartment will have a fuse marked "AM2" 15A. This one usually pops when the condenser shorts causing no CEL with KOEO.
If it's not, let me know.

Hi, I must have overlooked this fuse the first time, but mine says 30A and it is blown, where is the condenser by the wa, have not seen any thing melted as of yet. Does the coil have to be removed to see it? Do you think the Ign. mod. maybe an issue as well? Thanx guys for all your help. If this works, it will save me from hauling it 35 miles to Des Moines.

Hi, found the condenser and removed it, it smelled burnt, and look a little melted not to bad, put a new 30 a fuse in and connected the battery anfd turned the switch on stll could not heat the fuel pump, turned it over anyway and no fire, and fuse blown again, starting to get a little frustrated.
