This morning I drove for about 5 minutes-and then the engine stopped!
The motor cranks-but won't start. i had it tolled home.

And it seems I'm not getting any power to the distributor cap.

There's power before the coil-but nothing after.

Could it be that the coil is bad?

This is a 1991 LTD station wagon-and never had this happen before.

Thank you.

Hi drwho7154, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Check the coil's primary and secondary winding resistances and test the distributor pick-up coil and have the ignition control module checked
