Ok guys here's the deal. Just got a foxbody I owned 10 years ago. It's been sitting inside a body shop since 2006. When I got it towed home it only started with staring fluid. But then ran fine ip onto the flat bed. Got it home now no start or spark. It's getting fuel. Fuel relay works. Eec relay works. Checked pressure at schrader valve. Have replaced plugs. Coil. Fuel filter. Cap and rotor. And has good gas in it. It cranks nice and healthy. All grounds seem to be good. I'm thinking tfi or pip? Pulled a spark plug and no spark. Pulled the coil wire off distributor and also no spark. Someone help. Thanks guys. It's good to be back on stangnet

Here is a no start checklist, thanks to jrichker, go through it step by step and it should identify your problem.
