Check the other terminal on the coil with a test light or meter and see if its pulsing on and off when the engine is cranking. If it isn't pulsing I would pull the codes from the computer. The problem could be in the PIP, ICM, bad ground, or the ECM. Don't replace any part until you test it and beware of after market parts quality.

Sometimes it's cheaper to take it to a shop than to start throwing parts at it.

Hey, actually you might find this a little bit laughable, but a couple weekends ago, i went to a beach trip, had a few a beers , at like 1am wanted to go get more beer and OH! surprise my truck just didnt want me to keep drinking. The dvd, lights everything worked but i couldnt get the coil to start or make any sound... due to my high alcohol level i decided to just towed and figure ir out next morning. Tried everything... Gues what a simple fuse 20v was the solution. It looks like the alarm went on and some how burned the fuse, i changed the fuse removed the alarm completly and there you go.... i could come safe to my house. I own a 2010 f150
