New Coil????
My 87 ranger 4x4 2.9L just died! I was plowing all day when it died in the driveway of my home 
.I checked for spark no spark! I had power to the coil but no spark commin out of it.I went and put a new one in but still no spark.Could this be a ground problem???

If your test light flashes with one lead to ground and the point on the Neg (-) side of the coil with the engine cranking you will get spark as long as you still have power on the Pos (+) side of the coil.

If the truck is turning over with the starter, the ground is good to the engine. Without being there to do a little bit of testing, the best guess is the TFI module. This is what fires the coil.
