Unhappy Lost spark gettting on freeway! HELP!

I have a 90 RX7 Conv. 211K Mi. Rebuilt at 195K Mi. I was accelerating onto the freeway when with the snap of a finger it seemed as though the ignition key was turned off. (All service lights came on). Car cranks great. Won't start. All service lights work except engine light. Tried grounding test connector to pull codes, but no engine light. Found no spark from trailing or leading coils. Main relay, test ok. Crank Angle sensor test ok. Leading and trailing coils test good resistance (.4ohms). HELP!!!

Question All grounds OK. Found blown 30A EGI fuse.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I checked all gounds and they were ok. I checked main fuses in engine compartment and found a blown 30A EGI fuse. I replaced it and turned the car to the on but no start and saw my Engine light. 5 seconds later the new fuse blew. I've got a shop manual but need all the help I can get.
