Where are you checking for spark at the plug wire or coil coil? Do you have power going to the TFI from the ignition

Look on the front of the engine where the main pulley or call a shop and ask for the location. Not really familiar with this model.

Suggested Repair

The no-spark no-start was traced to a broken timing belt or chain, which should be replaced. Earlier checks included spark at the plugs and coil, TFI power, and, if equipped, the crankshaft position sensor at the front of the engine near the main pulley.

Conversation Summary

A 1992 Ford Taurus 3.0 lost spark and would not restart after dying while driving. The owner had already replaced the TFI module and coil and found no spark at the plugs or coil. The expert suggested confirming power to the TFI and checking the crankshaft position sensor, if equipped, near the front pulley, or asking a shop for the location. The owner later reported that the timing belt or chain had broken.
