I have a 86 LX 5.0 the engine cranks, no spark off the coil wire. There is power to the coil and ground at the coil. the coil is good we put it on another 5.0 and it ran with it. What is it? Thanks

How did you measure ground at the coil? It should be a pulsed ground coming from the TFI module, not constant. When a test light is biased across the two electrical wires on the coil and the car is cranked, the light should flash real quick.

Good luck.
