You already asked this question in this forum too, but you never responded once people started trying to help you.

What's even more confusing is that your description of the problem in this thread differs from your description of the problem in your other thread. You're not off to a great start (no pun intended).

Trust me, no one would have known what you were talking about because no one could understand what you were even saying.

Insulting folks within your first few posts certainly doesn't put you on the fast track for making friends on this forum.

Agree with fmc400, post as much info as possible. Diagnosing problems by long distance is difficult at best, the more information, the better. All this is to try and help you.
As for your problem, you have the Dura-spark II system. Usually, but not always, when there is no spark, the control box mounted on the drivers side splash pan just ahead of the master cylinder is bad.
If you find that's the problem, pry open your wallet and spend the bucks for a genuine Motorcraft replacement. The offshore, Chinese POS you get at most chain stores can cause more problems than they cure. And they don't seem to last very long.
