No Spout or PIP signal

I have an 89 f250 with a efi351. I have installed a new coil and ICM however I am still not getting any spark. As near as I can tell from the Haynes manual; I am not getting any pip signal or spout signal. Do these signals originate in the distributor????? If so do I need to change the pip statoor sensor????????

Some great troubleshooting info here:

Ford Ignition Module Test. Fender Mounted Module (ICM).

The procedure is labeled for vehicles with a fender mounted ICM, but the concept is the same for a distributor mounted ICM. A simple meter or cheap LED test light will tell you if you are getting a signal from the PIP sensor inside the distributor.

More PIP (aka Stator) info here: Fuel Injection Technical Library » Stator (RPM)

Before you take anything apart unplug your computer and see if spark returns.
If so check for a bad small black wire with a green or white stripe at the NEG post of the battery either missing or bad.
