Powertrain Control Module.

I notice now that you have a '92 so I'm not sure of the exact terminology of yours. Since it is pre-OBD II, it probably is called an ECM.

If you can find someone with equipment to scan the older OBD Is, you might want to check for trouble codes before throwing any more parts at it. Autozone and O'Reilly will not be able to help you. Maybe a private mechanic shop that has been in business for a long time.

How did you verify no spark on #3 & #6? Did you pull out those plugs and look for spark? If the plug was shorted (cracked) you wouldn't see spark in the gap.
Did you replace the plugs along with the wires and dist cap?
