I tried a search and came up with nothing. I still can not get my car started. It's cranking over fine but not starting. I went over the cranks fine but no start checklist. Everything checked out OK. Except the computer didnt even touch it. I'm not getting a spark off the coil. 12V from the red and green wires on the ignition coil connector. I did the TFI test and everything is up to spec. New PIP sensor, and new coil. EEC relay is getting 12 volts. I tricked the system into running the fuel pump and that worked out good. So I'm getting fuel. Is the coil supposed to be grounded anywhere? All the fuseable links below the coil are up to par. Cap and rotor looks good.

I was told to check my secondary ignition wires. But I have no idea where these are located. Could anybody explain this to me? I just bought that ford fuel injection and electronic engine control book. Still looking through it though.

Any help about these secondary ignition wires would be great. Or any other idea's on what to check. How many grounds are there on our cars? I know one to the engine and one to the chassis. Which I checked. any more?

I wont get back to this post untill Friday....little work trip. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
I consider spark plug wires secondary ignition wires.
The green wire on the coil is the ground wire. It will flash real quick, like a pulsar star.

Good luck.
