Default Same old problem

I have a 94 gt, an have a strange puzzling problem. It will start fine some times an not others. It wouldnt start the other day so I had it towed to the local ford dealer an it started right up for them. I have replaced the coil, plugs, dist. cap and rotor, fuel filter. It still won't start some times, usually when it wont start I can pull a boot off of a plug put a plug in it an ground it an I don't get spark. Im puzzled so if you have any suggestions plz post em. thanx

its either gonna be the ignition module(TFI) or the pickup coil inside the distributor(PIP)
i'm leaning more towards the PIP.
