Usually this is not a problem on the 92/93's.

number one, check your fuses.

make sure you don't have spark, its hard to fix a problem that may or may not be the problem.

that certainly wasn't true in my case...

not sure what the OP meant about pulling the coil wire or replacing the coil. seems to be confusing it with spark plugs and wires..? the coil is built into the distributor, and you likely need to change the whole thing.
