CAR: 1987 Mustang GT. Totally stock. No mods.
PROBLEM: Car died suddenly while idling at a stop light intersection as if someone hit an electrical switch. Will not restart. Will not even give a hint of combustion.

TROUBLESHOOTING DONE TO DATE:
- Sounded Fuel Pump during initial Key On. I can hear the fuel pump prime up for several seconds with the key in the On position.
- Sprayed Starter Fluid into the intake manifold & then cranked over the engine. I tried this a few times. There was not even a hint of combustion.
- Next, I replaced the coil.
- I measured 11.9V from Ground to the Red Wire on the Coil.
- Now am using JRICHKER's Checklist entitled "Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs ". It's posted in several areas and I'm using his version found here
- Am stuck on Checklist Item #1:
- Upon jumping "the screw to the big bolt on the starter solenoid that has the battery wire connected to it", I got no spark.
- I proceeded as directed but I got no "fat blue spark", in fact no spark at all.
- So am stuck on Checklist Item #1 and have a problem before even getting to #1B (i.e. I don't have a MSD box per #1A).
- Am miffed about the next step to take.
