No spark from trailing coil?

My fuel pump cut relay whent out so I put on a jumper and replaced the battery at the same Time, and after that the tach would not work and so I checked the coils with a timing light and no spark from trailing coil. So I replaced the coil and still no spark.
What should I look at next?
Could it have anything to do with the fuel pump cut off relay?

Thanks

All of that points to the trailing ignitor. Without the trailing ignitor working, the ECU doesn't see the engine running, so it doesn't send a signal to the tach and it doesn't turn the fuel pump on.
