Default HELP NO SPARK

Hi My Mustang has no spark right off the coil parts that have been replaced are a new ignition control module new coil and about 4 months ago when this last happened I replaced the hole distributor and it ran great but now its happening again

All fuses check out okay
there is power to both wires going to the coil but not sure if thats normal

the next thing I can think of would be the computer ?

if you know anything that can help me I would appreciate it

Its a 1994 5.0 5 speed

the module is new, on my car it was mounted under the airbox on the passenger side fender and it was running and then died out and then i checked for fuel pressure since i just put in a fuel pump but that was good and then i put on my spark tester and am getting nothing right off the coil but power to both sides of the coil.

use a 12v test light to ground to the wires goin into the coil and have sum1 trun the key see if your light flashes... if it does i would say your coil is shot... if it doesnt then your pick up in the disti. is shot... any of which are a $20 fix.

that is considering that all your fuses are good that is....

The TFI Module is on the dizzy not under the air box. They always go out it's like an 80 dollar part go buy a new one and hook it up like 10 mins of work.
