starting woes
first off 94 f150 ext cab 301326 miles will spin over with no problem just no fire. as of today while im trying to leave work, and also two weeks ago while driving lost power after about 15 miles and would only spin over later in the day came back and fired right up ,checked fuel pres, can hear pumps prime, have 12 volts at coil but no spark on wires truck has done this several times with some parts changed every time trying to eliminate the problem first was the coil then ignition module (read post on that and my original module was black advance sold me the gray one that i replaced will change back thanks sub ford)so anywayim guessing its the pip sensor now any more help would be appreciated .

Could be the PIP sensor but pull the SPOUT shorting bar out when you have no spark and see if the spark returns. If it does than I would look at the computer and not the PIP sensor. If it does not return go after the PIP sensor.

Have you checked to make sure there's power coming out of the coil? Are the cap, rotor, plugs and wires in good shape? Start simple and work toward the more complicated issues. Make sure you have power to the distributor and that you're getting good contact between the cap and wires.
