can a faulty igniter cause no spark from coil

1995 2.2L w external coil. put logic on it, shows weak ground w key on engine off and while cranking but no power. checked ohms on coil; they fall within specs. also tried it with new coil with same results. Shows CALI emissions

**Is distributor rotating while engine is cranking?????** Do you have battery voltage at coil primary terminal, key on?

just put logic on wires leading into coil. white grounded good and went pos. with key on but black and red wire dead with key off and on. Leads me to think there is a short along this wire

Ok.. Whatever!
