solved the no fire mystery on my 85 240dl

Well, let me clarify exactly which wire I cut. The harness that plugs into the module near the front left fender. (the same unit that has a vacuum line connected to it) On that harness, there is a white wire that is thicker than all the others. that wire has an outer metal covering, sort of like a t.v. coaxial cable. That outer wire covering came off of the white wire, and tied into a black wire on the same harness. But you are correct, it can't be the wire that grounds the coil, as the car still turns off as normal. But whatever that wire goes to, it was the precise solution to my problems. After each component swap out, i checked for fire. Only after I clipped this wire, did it start.
