1991 4runner NO SPARK, PLEASE HELP

I bought the following car and the car did not run when I purchased it. It does turn over but has no spark.
1991 toyota 4runner, v6 3.0 engine, auto trans.
I have swapped the coil, igniter, distributor, and ecm into my other
Toyota and all the parts worked in it. I have tested the wires from the dist. , coil,
And the ignitor to the ecm for shorts, grounds, and continuity and they all test ok.

I have 12 volts to the coil when the ignition switch is on. I cannot see if the check engine light works because I cannot get it to go on. I have jumped the e1 and te1 and still no MIL.

My question is : can something else (sensors, relays, or component) cause the distributor
not to have spark??? I cannot get any codes or the light to even come on. Probably would
not read code as I have reset it by pulling the plugs out and swapping it. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Please help me out if you can.

Diagnosing car problems over the internet is a bit of a crapshoot, but a very simple thing to check are the fuses and fusible links. You didn't mention those, so I'd start there.

thanks, I swapped the relays, and checked the fuses. i need to check the fuse links.
 
Did it have a car alarm fitted at one stage ?. Or LPG, check for cut wires or non factory plugs sockets and wires. maybe something isnt connected where it should.

You swapped the Dizzy, but did you check if it rotates.
