Spark issues

Hey folks, I have a 1991 f150 in-line 6. The truck started bucking hard at low RPM. Replaced the ICM fixed it right away. Next day started again. I figured since it had the original dizzy in it that maybe it was heating up and frying the ICM. So I replaced the dizzy. Now I have no spark coming out of the dizzy to the plugs. Spark from coil to cap but none coming out. I’m truly at a loss here. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Hope I haven’t posted wrong never done this before and not real computer savvy. Thanks in advance.

New dizzy or refurbished? Sounds like you may have a faulty PIP in the distributor. Get a Motorcraft or high quality new distributor, to eliminate a faulty PIP. A lot of the cheaper distributors are bad right out of the box.

Spark from coil to cap but none coming out. Did you recheck your rotor after experiencing this?
