Why is my 89 Toyota Corolla not getting voltage from the pickup to the ignitor under the distributor cap. We have changed the coil and the pickup. What else could be stopping the voltage?

  this is a picture of a gm the toyo should be similar
  it is inside this

  the upper right pic is the placement of the module
  a distributor has a cap, rotor, and a module, there is no pick up or ignighter
  we're not going to understand each other until you understand the terminilogy
  the coil gives voltage to the center post of the distributor cap
  the rotor spins on the shaft and deliver spark to each plug wire (the outer ring of wire that go to the plugs)
  take the center (coil wire) off of the cap and while grabbing it with a pair of insulated pliers hold it close to but not touching a metal part of the engine, have someone crank the engine, if u see a spark the coil is good
  if the coil is good the module is bad
  if there is no spark the coil is bad or a component in the circuit BEFORE the coil is bad
