How do I check ignitor on 91 toy v6 4x4?

Just joined yotatech today...because I need help. My 91 toy v6 4x4 is cranking but not starting. There is no spark from the coil - ohms reading of coil is within spec. Next step I want to do is to check the ignitor. The ENGINE CHK light does not come on when ignition switch is in ON position.
Thank you for your immediate help...

Im sure you can check it with a multi-meter, But i dont know how. I know you can check them at parts stores for free. They hook them up to a machine.

There is no multi-meter check for the ignitor. http://www.ncttora.com/fsm/1990-1995...e/onvehicl.pdf Personally, I've never heard of a parts store checking them, but if you can find one that would definitely be the way to go. (Once you've completed all the checks in the Manual.)

Thanks for the advice. I will continue the diagnosis - if you guys/gals run across anything let me know. Have a good one....

Ive never tested a toyota igniter. But ive tested chevys and hondas at parts store. Try taking it to a napa, oreileys, or something along those lines. They will probably take it to the back of the room and hook wires up to it.
