Having issues with spark. Has fuel pressure

Swapped the motor, (original 2.3 to a 1993 2.3) but can’t seem to get spark. Swapped battery, swapped ignition control module, and coil packs. All good parts. Not sure if I have a grounding issue or not.

Any ideas?

Truck is a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 2wd 2.3

If you don't have spark I would start with the crank sensor, it's a somewhat common failure on the '89-94 engines, I know it's a pain in the rear to change...

I believe it might be a relay or my wiring harness. Not sure. Maybe it’s a grounding issue?🤷🏻‍♂️

The crank sensor worked fine when it was in the truck I pulled the motor out of. So I’m not sure

Fair enough, I would check the powers and grounds at the ignition module, I don't have the pinout handy but I might look later...
