do you have spark out of the coil into the cap? if so i would suggest removing the cap and testing for continuity between the center plug (coil input) and the spring loaded button on the inside also check the rotor, if you have no spark from coil at all be sure you have it wired correctly and be sure the coil wire did not get pulled apart in the ends please rate -jeff

Sounds like crank sensor.

The crank sensor sends a pulse to the ECU, with this information the ECU then controls the spark timing, therefore if the crank sensor is faulty you won't get a spark.

97 pontiac firebird 5.7L HAS NO spark from optispark but has spark from coil

This engine uses a special flat cap and a standard rotor, right ? The spark comes into the cap and thru the rotor, then to the spark plugs.
Have you replaced the rotor ?
The spark can jump thru the rotor and ground thru the dist. shaft.
Depending on where you are testing for spark, the coil could also be weak and not pushing the spark to the plugs.

My 97 jimmy has a no run tested coil have power to coil but no spark at the plugs any help would be great

Check the coil wire for spark at the distributor cap. If you have spark there, check the rotor button and the cap for corrosion or failure.
