No start ... no spark
I have an '89 F-150, 302, AOD & dual tanks. Yesterday when I started it up, it went thru it's normal warm-up cycle & then stalled. It does this once in awhile. This time it won't start back up. It cranks but won't start up. I remove the spark plug wire & installed a spare plug & grounded it while cranking---no spark. I also remove the coil wire, inserted the plug & cranked---no spark.

My problem was solved by a simple procedure with a test lamp at the -/tach terminal of the e-coil. The test lamp was bright & steady as the engine was cranking indicating a bad TFI/ICM module. I replaced the module & the truck started right up with just a bump of the ignition key.

Found the cause of my problem. The wire connecting the distributor to the coil was bad.
