I have a 1994 mustang cobra, so today after work I turned on the car, then a minute later the car died. The car turns, fuel pump is priming. I also changed the coil, since I have an extra one in the car. I know I have to check for spark, what else can I do?? Distributor module?? Any info will help. Thanks

Is it a crank no start?
Check connections on battery, starter?
Check pressure at the rails?

It's always either the tfi module or the distributor.

That's what I'm thinking, I heard msd distributors go bad, I guess 6 years is a Good amount of use. Im going to put the stock back on today or tomorrow .

Haven't put the stock one yet, but i just found out that the injectors have power but no ground. I gotta checkpoint the ECU.
Ps i Also replace the relay in by the coolant reservoir and no luck
