No spark
Ok, I'm @ a lose, I have a 86 mustang lx, 5.0. I have replaced the battery, plugs, wires, ignition mod, coil, distributer cap, rotor! Still can see any spark at the plugs. Can sombody keep me from pullin the rest of my hair out?

ground out the plug against something your can't just pull it out

check the coil, if the coil is getting spark, then check the coil pickup inside the distributor, (not sure but i think its called the stator), if the stator is good then its probly the TFI module. im not familiar with the 86 but it should have a TFI.

RE: No spark
ya if your getting spark after the coil, the little module on the side of the distributor is the TFI, and if you open up the distributor cap take out your rotor under neath the rotor should be the coil pick-up, and before you buy a NEW tfi have it tested at a local parts store to save some money

RE: No spark
Thanks man. Idid a little diging andif I understand correctly, the pick is a trigger for the coil, it tells it when to send juice. Since I don't have spark comeing from the coil I'm under the impresion the pick up is at fault.
Now with all that done and still no spark, should I go buy a new destributor, or try to change out the pick up?
