87 760 no spark 700

well here goes, the 760 always ran flawlessly untill one day pulling away from a trafic light under full throttle the car just died out then kickd back in and off i went, since then it did it to me 2 other times about a week later. then yesterday i drove up my drivway (pretty steep) and just almost to the top and it died, would just crank no start and i smelled raw fuel out the tail pipe. about 4 hours later it started fine, so i parked it and it will not start now a day later. so i started checking for fuel, air, spark, well i got no spark. so i removed the coil and checked for power there, got + with the key on and also with it cranking but i get no (-) when cranking. does anybody know where the ignition modual or computer is located? i know its not on the pass side kick panel cause i had to replace the ecu when i went through a deep puddle once and somehow got water inside the car and in the computer, its still a mystery to me how the water got in the car. anyway does the crank sensor tell when to fire the ignition or is there a cam position sensor, i am a diesel mechanic and this is my first gas powered volvo, but before i goe tearing into things that might not be the cause maybe someone here can shed some light on the situation. thanks chris
