1995 F-150 / No Spark

I have a 1995 F-150 with the 4.9 efi I6. I parked my truck and when I returned a few moments later it wouldn't start, I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the ignition system. I replaced plugs, wires, rotor, and even the coil and it still doesn't start up. The rotor spins and is making contact with the cap but I'm not sure why I'm not getting spark. I'm thinking about replacing my ICM next and maybe the distributor cap. My new coil isn't getting any voltage either. But am I missing anything else other than that? Why would it have just died within 30 minutes of being parked? Thank you all in advance.

Welcome to FTE!

You stated the coil is not getting +12VDC with the key on/cranking? If so nothing you replaced is going to help. There should be battery power at the coil whenever the key is in the Run/Start position.

Overall view of your ignition:



More details that show the fuse, ignition switch and relays:



More than once that small capacitor connected at the coil has shorted. You might try disconnecting it. Referred to as Radio Capacitor in the diagram.
