Won't start! 700 1983

Hi guys,


I have a '83 760Turbo with a B23ET which won't start. 3 days ago, it wouldn't start on a cold morning, then later on in the day, it did. The nxt day, it started and ran fine for the whole day. They next morning, it wouldn't start, and hasn't since, morning or day. There is no power going to the coil, so therefor no spark. It's cranking, but won't turn over. CD player, lights, etc. all work, and the ignition switch seems to be okay.

Keep in mind this is a B23ET, with mechanical injection. Could it be the ignition ECU, the one in the driver footwell?? If not what else could it be?

Thanks for any help...
