No Spark

[Mustangcwo]

Well, went to leave Barona yesterday and the old Fox would not fire. I checked fuel pressure first...all good 40psi on the gauge. Then I checked for spark and NOTHING.

1) Swapped coils and no spark
2) Changed out ignition control module (TFI) no spark

Anyone have any ideas. I haven't put the multimeter on it yet. Have to get it home first.

dunno much about the fox but do they use a distributor or a crank angle sensor?

CWO did you check the wires..? You check the coil not the problem, you check the TFI and still not the problem.. I would say the distributor next... Unless you fried a wire inbetween...

I just visually checked most of the wires and they look good. Still need to take a meter to them. I'm going to try and push start the car and see if it's just in the initial ignition. that will narrow things.

if your getting 0 spark. its going to be a obvious problem that needs to have something in common with all 8 cylinders. iether your coil is grounding out and discharging to the body or whatever controls your timing has failed. if it was spark plugs wires i highly doubt all 8 would fail at the same time.

Did you remove any Ground wires leading to the ECM?
