I am going to kill my car

So my car crapped out the other weekend. Well I had it towed to a shop to diagnose the problem because I didn't have time anymore. Well they told me that the cap and rotor were shot. So I just replaced it with an MSD Opti and the stupid thing still won't start. I haven't gone and checked the whole spark test thing because it is 2:00am and I am fed up. Any other suggestions. I have also replaced the ICM and I have a blaster coil

When I had a MSD blaster coil awhile back, I went to a shop to diagnose the same problem. They told me the same thing...cap and rotor. It ended up being the MSD coil. I don't run MSD products anymore because everytime I do, they fry within a couple weeks. I went through two ignition boxes and a coil in two months.
