1988 F150 lariat 4x4 5.0 EFI
Anyone know where the power comes from to fire the coil ?
I Cant get a spark.
Replaced w/New - Distributor, Module, - Coil.-all new.
Cap, rotor,- good-wires good.
Motor will crank
But will not fire
No spark from plug wires,- No spark from coil wire.
This thing crapped out on me a week ago, been battling with it since.
Wondering if Ignition switch down on column would have any reason to interfere with coil firing??
- Any Suggestions greatly appreciated

I look into the foolishness beneath the hood of my 22 year old truck and all I see is Politics covering a internal combustion engine in the form of wires, relays, sensors, fuel injection,Regulators, emissions..nonsense controlled by a computer.. diesels don't have emissions...??
To make what? the vehicle harder to work on?..or give it a reason to have an inspection sticker??-yes.-Politics.
Before this country takes my job, the food out of my family's mouth, and then my life, I'm going to find me a truck from 1965 or before,with no options, and NO EMISSIONS, and pump the atmosphere with non-cat green house gases until they hunt me down and take my truck away, but only by prying the steering wheel from my cold dead fingers.

YA Know what?..-never mind,- I'm done with this ***-backward computerized way of getting from point A to Point B..

If you have a multimeter, measure the potential at the low voltage side of your coil, I bet it's zero.
