You will need to work your way back from the coil through the ICM to the PCM as well as the sensors and power needed for spark. Looks like swartllk has you on the right track. If all your fuses and power are good then we can dive deeper.if you have nothing at the coil primary then cap and rotor are not the issue.

Do you have 12V at the pink wire into the ICM with key on?

Pls confirm no 12V at pink wire into the coil; at key on.

Use battery ground not the ICM ground when measuring.

Had this exact issue in my 99 Blazer. Ended up fixing it eventually, after a lot of wasted money on parts. Come to find out the fuse box and particularly the lower level where the red honeycomb section where the wiring harness ties into the underside of the fuel pump relay. The power wire for the fuel pump was corroded and had burned up a little and was not making a good connection. Cleaned it up and tied it back in. Starts every time and haven’t had an issue since. This was over a year ago.

Not really. OP has already reported a missing spark.

If you do not have power to the input of the ECM fuse then you don't have an ignition problem you have a power problem. When you go to key on/run does your dash respond or any other evidence that your ignition switch is providing run power to any system in the truck? What is your battery voltage?

The ECM I circuit seems to be the only one effected. Fuel pump cycles batt gauge moves but the others are dead. No gear indicator lights come on either I think I read trans is on that circuit as well. Batt has 12.1V
