'95 Ranger ignition problem

The number 3 cylinder on my 2.3L has no spark on either the intake or exhaust sides. Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks,

steve

Well, we've got the coil packs, wires, then the plugs.
It's kind of wierd that both plugs aren't firing.
Almost like the computer isn't telling the coil pack to fire.
I'll check my books, but if there is a crank position sensor, then maybe it's faulty and not telling the computer to fire the coil...
Just a thought.

Well .. I've eliminated the plugs and wires and since it's both of the 3rd cylinder plugs I'm thinking that it's not the coil pack. I'm gonna have the ignition control module tested. Wouldn't the crank sensor affect all cylinders?

thanks,

steve
