So my car hasnt been starting for a while Tongue Im a noob and always need help. I have other post here too.... So my uncle took a look for the sparks, and checked for power and he said theres none coming from the ignition module (the small black box with a cirtcuit and a bunch or resistors) He said to check each one with a meter, and if the part is bad we can change it.  I dont know how to do that Tongue  But would that work, what is the best thing to do and how much would a new one cost?

What engine do you have? First off, update your profile with what kinda car you have.

If you're fairly decent at electronics, you could buy some BU941 power transistors and wire them in place of the OEM part. It's pretty easy, I did that with my old MK2 CA20.

They're pretty cheap too, less than $5/each
