I like using a test light to check for ground pulse to the coil. You also need to test for power at the coil (you can use a test light as well). If there's no pulse, look towards the wiring, ECU, or CPS. If you have pulse and power at the coil, look at plug wires, cap, rotor, or spark plugs. I choose to start at the coil to "half-split" the system. You can rule out about half the components with one test.
