88 intermittent spark

I have recently bought a 1988 bronco 2 with no spark I replaced distributor cap, rotor, wires, and tfi module it ran two days ago after all that was put on but only for about 2 minutes then stalled out and won’t get any spark until last night it will get spark for about a second and then quit if anyone has ever had this problem help would be much appreciated

It could be the Hall effect (crank sensor) in the distributor. Removing the SPOUT connector might help. If it runs better without the SPOUT connector then I'd say it needs a new distributor. You really need an oscilloscope to check the primary ignition system.
