Since his highness is sleeping in this morning I can say it so the world does not tilt to far off center. "Junk that worthless Ford,and drive a Chebby"
But since "I know nothing,nothing" I got a dead Chey,Ford,and Dodge sitting around here.
An to give O'l Joe some encouragement at least it is staying dead  ,so you can find the real trouble. My luck is it starts  up only to die in another place more in the way or farther from home.  So I can throw more parts at it,and start over.

My 1989 F250 5.8 did that.. No fire......... replaced the coil. Funny looking, not round, it was square.... but that did it.

Anti theft system triggered, if even by accident or by mystery?

Use a test light and see if it has 12 v going to the pos side of the coil with key on. If so then put it on the neg side and crank it over. The test light should flash of and on.
Just a starting point. If it doesn’t it’s a good possibility of the little gizmo in the distributor.

My younger Brother called and his trk quit on him downtown, so I went and pulled him to my house. He's got a 1990 Ford 5.8 with 4X4 and auto trans. I put my pressure test gauge on the fuel rail and fuel pump is putting up 45# while cranking. Checked the fire at #1 spark plug and NO FIRE,,,, I could hear one of the 3 relays "clicking" while he was cranking. The plastic enclosure for the relays is labeled EEC,,,Fuel Pump,,,,and Trailer Tow. The PO had removed the 3 relays from the plastic enclosure and one had been changed out before my Bro bought the trk and it was the one doing the clicking. I had no way to test the relay, so he went and bought a new one,,CHIT,,trk still would not start but new relay would not click any more,,,,WTH,,,?? Pulled distributor cap and checked rotor and inside of cap for tracking or cracks but looks like new inside. W,,,T,,,H,,,,!!! No Fire at all to plug wires. Anybody had this no fire sitiation on their Ford trk,,,,,????
