checked the sticky and did the following:
1. checked spark from coil to dizzy-no spark
2. assumed bad coil and picked 1 up at summit-MSD Blaster TFI
3. still no spark
4. have 12 volts at coil connector, 12 volts at injectors, 12 volts at coil wire to dizzy
5. got codes 21 (cooling temp sensor or ECT out of range) and 24 (IAT out of range) shouldn't effect spark should they?

car has run fine lately and has a month old Summit billet dizzy, new wires, new plugs. just won't start. i have good fuel pressure on gauge and cranks like a champ-new PA high torque mini starter

where should i look next? any help is greatly appreciated. unfortunately this car is my daily driver for now as the winter beater died

Have you checked your tfi module on the distributor?

Put a test light across the two-wire electrical connector at the coil. The light should flash while cranking.

Got it running today! Turned out it was the module on my new summit billet dizzy. Guess I'll have to call and cuss them out. Good thing I still had the old Ford module laying around.
