Why does my 1989 Oldsmobile Cutless Ciera not have spark going to the spark plugs?

Question:
The car has new spark plugs, wires, and coils. I had the ignition module checked and it was good. I put a new ECM in to the car to see if that was it... it wasn't. I checked for burnt fuses and couldn't find any. I used a test light to see if the wires to the ignition module were getting power... they were. There is something funny though about it all. The car will spark if you trick it. In order to trick it you have to have the key switch on the setting right before the cranking over possition. I had the spark plug out and by metal in order to see if there was spark. When I unplug the wires that go to the ignition module then plug them back in, while the key is on that setting, then there is spark that is sent through the spark plug that I had out. I can't figure out why it wont do it by its self when I crank the car.

if you have to "trick" it with the key switch, that probably is your problem, either the key switch itself or the ignition switch. when you turn the key cylinder, it makes connections with contacts on the ignition switch, powering on the different systems, including the cars ignition and computer. if the parts are worn they probably arent making proper contact. those are mechanical parts that do go bad with age and are not expensive or hard to replace.

Check the timing belt to see if the marks line up if not this will cause a missfire. The spark has to be blue. If timing is off it will be red or orange looking and will not fire not plugs will flood with gas everytime check the spark color at night to see good luck
