Default Coil/PCM?

Is it possible that a bad coil could blow out my PCM? When I changed my coil, that didn't fix my problem so I just returned my new coil. Then the dealership said that my PCM was the cause so I changed that twice. I figured that my old coil could do this to all of the PCMs that I put in it.

Are you still having issues with this car Schrum? This is a 2.0L auto correct? Are you getting fuel then, since you're working on spark?
So far what have you done/checked?

Yes it is a 2.0 but manual. When I started having the problem in Feb. I replaced the coil twice, crank sensor, cam sensor twice but with used ones from running cars, these parts didn't help so I returned them. Then took it to the Dealer and they replaced the PCM twice and told me to get it off there property. Yesterday I put a used working coil and wires on from my friend's SRT and a new ASD relay. Everything keeps leading back to the PCM.

I don't know if I am getting any codes because it wont start. I wasn't getting any code before it stopped running. I will check the wire from the cam sensor but it looks OK.
