No Spark

Well here is the problem, on my 91 F150 302 4x4, four cylinders are not firing. I get a very weak spark if any on cylinders. The firing order is 15426378, cylinders 2637 are the ones that are not firing.

I know they are getting fuel, wet plugs, gas in oil (had to change oil yesterday). I measured voltage in the TFI harness and it is getting voltage, and if the TFI isn't working it wouldn't be getting fuel. I am thinking that it is the PIP sensor.

Any ideas or suggestions on what to check?

Thanks

Really? Why is that?

Personally I think it could be TFI. I'm not aware of anything that will restrict fuel if there's no spark. There may be somthing to stop the fuel pump until a tach reading is seen, but it wouldnt' cause your symptoms.

But let us know what you find.
