no if it test ok, but if your not getting spark from the coil, and the coil is good....i would think that the module is toast.... drop by the ranger forum .

now when i did a tune up on my ranger i replaced the coil, module, cap and rotor. i didnt like ford modules, they are prone to giving out at the worst times, like 2am in the middle of no- where........

What kind of ignition system do you have?

Make sure the distributor rotor rotates as the engine rotates. If the distributor rotor does not rotate then you won't get spark.

If your ignition system uses a CKPS (Crankshaft Position Sensor) then make sure it is good and the CKPS wires is not grounding to the engine block.

Im really not to sure about anything about this truck I found it for dirt cheap due to the fact it wouldnt start. Im not sure what type of ignition system it is I mean it has a distributor with pickup coil and no points has a coil, and ignition module. pretty basic I would think. As for the Crank sensor would I be able to see it from the exterior of the motor. Probably in the front correct. Im not too sure about fords this is my first one and ofcoarse its got me stumpt. Any help would be great. Oh and the rotor does rotate
