Hey guys I know this is a mustang forum, but I need help pretty bad, my pick up died on me over the weekend, I need to know what to check out, I took off the ignition coil wire to the dizzy and not getting spark, got a new coil, same problem, what else should I check out, kinda new to this EFI stuff. I think the concept should be the same for the fox bodies and the pickup, thats why I'm asking here.

99.999% guaranteed to be the distributor module.

pretty common problem

need a special tool to remove the old one, and the new one has a thick coating of dielectric grease on it.

Is that the same as ICM, if it is do you know where it is, its not on the fender wells like the stang, can it be in the dizzy itself?

He is talking about the TFI. Its the same thing and its located on the side of the dist. You will need a thin walled socket, or go buy a ford TFI wrench. Or take a grinder and make a thin walled socket. Take it off and have it tested at the auto parts store. Be sure to follow the instructions when installing a new one. It gets di-electric grease on the base of it before its bolted back on.
