Sounds like blue oval syndrome!

Do you have injector pulse? if no fire, and no pulse, most likely pick-up coil in distributor. dont even try to replace it, you seldom get the dist gear off without destroying it. just get a new/rebuilt or used distributor. You can hook up the new dist without installing it and make sure the housing is grounded, with the key on, rotate the shaft and see if you have spark, there's your problem. Good luck, Greg

Yep pickup coil in distributor is bad. Real common problem with the ford. You can try to get the gear off the distributor....but like was said. Usually breaks. And a gear is expensive.....can buy a reman distributor for about the price.

why would you replace the fuel pump for no spark at coil?

 

[28wmod]

no fire

fuel pump was replaced before it quit running.just letting people know what has been done,to help with diagnosis of problem.

best and cheapest thing to do is take it to ford ,have it hooked up on the computer and fix it once..man you can spend a fortune guessing on what is wrong

 

[28wmod]
