HELP...bronco won't start

My 89 bronco has a 351. It stopped running the other day. The motor rotates, but no spark. I have replaced the coil, distributor and ign module. The plugs, wires, cap and rotor are about 4 months old. The battery is good and I have good voltage at the coil. Basicly, I have replaced everything I can think of and still nothing. My code reader won't even work. In reading the manual and testing, my thought is the computer. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance

Make sure that the fuse(s) for the computer aren't blown. That's a good start. After that, follow your manual for diagnosing a no-start with the computer.

It's always the simple things in life that make you suffer. Why can't it ever be a component that you're familiar with?
