ignition issue - won't start
hi yall , on my Recent purchased f 150 - 3 0 2 she won't start , no spark I have changed the spark plugs I have changed the battery I have checked all spark plugs and changed. Change the coil with a brand new one it is power to the coilBut no power to the spark plugs taken out the distributor and about to change the Ignition module. Hopefully this solves the issue if anyone can help or advise me on an upgrade Perhaps to fully electronic I would much appreciate it thank you

Can you give us more info on the truck? What year is it?
Before replacing anything else, try testing the TFI module and the PIP sensor. The PIP is in the distributor, and the TFI will either be on the distributor, or on the fender, depending on what year that truck is.
And how exactly did you determine that there is no spark? And what exactly do you want to convert to "fully electronic"? These trucks already have electronic ignition systems.

You should put ALL your truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location (nearest city) in your profile &/or signature, & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post (NOT in your sig) of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you. Not all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.
