The module isn't a 100% chance of fix, but it would certainly be high on the list.

Also wouldn't hurt to pull codes just in case. It's DIY on you old Caddy:

Don't forget to pull the codes. I had a no-start on my wrecker last year that drove us crazy until we discovered it was a bad temp sender (for the computer); there was a code stored, but we were convinced it was a coil/module/etc.

93 cad deville no start

We did replace modual in dist. and rotor with no luck.We will do cap next.A mechanic told us there is a sensor on the passenger side under wheel that I have never heard of ,except for a speed sensor for ABS which are on all 4 wheels.He said you have to take wheel off to get at it.We havent found a manual yet.I guess we will have to go to alldata.com or go to library.
Cant pull the codes on this car unless you have scanner.This car does not have have Aand B terminals needed to get code counts with out scanner.

Crank sensor could be in that general location; not sure on a Deville.

Test light the ign coil...........First for power TO the coil..........Then for pulse as the engine cranks (By placing the test light on the NEG side of the cooil when cranking, light should flash)..................This sounds more of a ccc kinda set up where the car STARTS on the pick-up in the dist, then switches to computer control after @400RPM...........I'd check the ign coil as I staed firsr before replacing any more parts.......At least THEN you'll know whether the problem is Primary or Secondary

first check power to the distributer at pos side of coil then would probably suspect pickup assembly in the distributer if you have no spark, sounds like you have replaced most of the ignition system, coil, rotor,module, you have to remove the distributer to replace the pickup.
