automechanic help

My van is not getting fire. I have replaced plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor, the coil, and the ignition module was tested and is good. The solenoid and starter are new & battery is good as well. What's left? The distributor itself? Can I replace the pick-up coil without replacing the distributor assembly? Are either hard to replace. 1994 Ford E350 HD ClubWagon. Low mileage, runs great (usually), and plenty of room for the family. Help please!

How do you know that spark is the problem and not gas?

The famous screw driver test on the spark plug. :wink:

No sparks at all.

Well, my dad taught automechanics at one time and that would have been his first question. If you've replced the ignition coil then the next step is to replace the distributor. Happy hunting!
