Engine won't fire

I have a 92 F-250 5.8 L 4wd p/u

I was driving just up the road and my truck stalled out on me several times. I finally got it back home but since I have parked it it will turn over but it does not get any spark to fire up.

I have replaced the ignition module and ditributor p/u coil. Nothing

I have checked to make sure the fuel pumps work and they do but no electricity if getting to them when I turn on the key.

I have checkked the fusable links and they are still good.

I checked all the relays and fuses and they are all good.

I am getting power to the coil, distributor, and ignition module but still it will not fire up.

Any thoughts on what it could be?

"Fuel pumps work, but they get no electricity"?

You must clarify that statement.

No spark at plugs?

Backtrack to no spark at coil wire into cap?

On to no spark produced at ignition coil?

Those are just things we eliminated as a problem.

Unplug the PCM Computer and see if spark returns.
Note it will not fire the injectors but should fire off of starter spray in the intake.
