If you put starting fluid in the intake and it at least "coughs" then you can rule out fuel being your issue.
How did you confirm spark at the plug?

I pulled plug, set on intake with threads in contact with metal and cranked from starter selinoid. Saw spark.If you put starting fluid in the intake and it at least "coughs" then you can rule out fuel being your issue.

I may do that if the injectors show they are not firing, really I did not even know what a pick up coil was 2 days ago so I am a bit apprehensive. I'm a shadtree guy, learning as I go. Distributor and timing .....i have not read up on that yet.I still say its the Pick-up coil inside the distributor. I had this same problem ran and then nothing. The pick-up coil is what tells the computer when to fire the injectors, and if it isn't getting that signal you will get nothing. You already spent the time to replace everything else in the distributor I would spent the extra $20ish buck and just finish rebuilding the whole thing.
Oooohhhhh, I had not even thought of that....sounds fun hummmmm. Storage mat be an issue. I could build a beastly motor slowly while still running my stock ride. It was 180xxxmilesHow many miles on the explorer engine?
not much more to just pull the engine and have a spare.
