No start=Faulty EEC?

My wife's uncle has a 1982 Bronco that cranks but no start. It literally ran perfect one day and the next day it would not start. There is no voltage at the coil wire. We did check all primary/secondary ignition parts and voltage, all test good. This is the first year for computer controlled ignition. The only items it has that we know of is a CPS, which we also replaced (no help) and the computer under the driver seat. We are thinking that is the problem but Ford says it is discontinued? Any idea's are greatly appreciated.

What solenoid are you referring to? We replaced the ignition module on the Left fender, that didn't help. Someone had mentioned checking a ballist resisitor, but we could not find it in any of the manuals we have.

The ignition module was replaced with a known good one. The hookups are idiot proof. All wiring to coil was checked with volt meter. All within spec.
