I have a 1993 Toyota Camery, 4 cly. We have tested the ignition coil on the outside of the distributor and I wasn't receiving power. What do we do next?

Have you also tested for fuel pressure? A bad crank sensor could eliminate both spark and fuel.

Install a new coil--bench testing coils is not reliable. Most coils break down under load (heat).

We checked the fuel pump and it is working properly, also we checked the fuse and relays and they also were working. We did the light test on the coil and it showed that no power was getting to it. The battery is also charged so we know that isn't a problem.

Then replace the coil, like txgreasemonkey suggested. Let us know if it helped :)

Yes, agreed. The ignition coil is #1 culprit on your model car if fuel pressure checks out.
Be sure you still have a check engine light with key on. This way, we know fuses are good.

Darn it! I'm trying to give you guys greenies. Just don't work anymore for me. :confused:

When replacing the ignition coil, replace the ignition condenser as well. The condenser breaks protects the ignition coil from harmful voltage spikes. You'll have to ask for it because I guess most parts people don't know what it's for.
Not replacing it could shorten the life expectancy of the new coil.
