Well on my way to work my car just died, no warning, nothing

got it home today (towed )

well timing belt is fine, fuel pump is kicking on when ignition is turned
battery seems good, pulled a plug boot off and put next to radiator and did not see any spark coming out

so im thinking plugs and wires, possibly Coil pack???

its not the TMI module, put a new one in last summer when i was solving a Timing belt issue

what do you think?

btw i have a 93 2.3 n/a dual plug auto

Don't assume not bad. I do refrigeration work. Last had new ice machine gearbox bad out of box and also 1 year old compress bad. I have no ideas for you mine is 89t no knowledge on the dual plug.

Have you scanned for codes? I'd say it's probably the crank trigger but the codes should say for sure...

Well a code scanner is a whole lot cheaper than just replacing random parts...they are like 20 bux.

Yep, I didn't know scanners were so cheap or I would have bought one long ago. I ordered a new one from Amazon for $25 and they had used for under $20. I got the Equus Digital Code Reader For Ford 1981-1995 which I've heard is great. Heck, I spent almost as much money for my last oil and filter and I can't wait to try it out.
