What engine do you have. If you have the 302 there's a small gap in the center of the upper intake you can see a torx bolt through

alright look man I'm not a master mechanic I got on here because I needed help not to be bashed by someone who knows more than I do. I really do appreciate the help but keep the bashing to a minimum please and I have a new coil that I am putting on tomorrow. I don't understand how to pull codes with a piece of wire I'm not that advanced

Step 1, pull codes.
Lol. Its really not. He replaced everything else involved with it. As far as the coil, its working or it isn't. Yes he still needs to pull codes.

Yes I have the 302 and I'll go look at that in a few. Is there anything else troubleshooting wise that I should be aware of?

IAB, fuel pressure regulator. There is a sticky on this site that says how to pull codes from obd1 without a code reader. Or you can buy the Ford obd1 code reader.

When I get back to my house later I can put pictures of parts you have questions about. That won't be for like 4-5 hours. Going to hang out in Seattle for awhile. I'll try to keep responding if I'm not too busy.

If the voltage coming out of the coil isn't consistent then its not working. If you have a multimeter and a test light you can test most of the ignition system.

Do what tests are possible for you even if you've replaced the parts.
