What can cause the no spark problem on my Ford?

I have a 1993 Ford Explorer. My sister was driving down a road when the engine stalled. I hooked up a spark tester and the plugs has no spark. It has no distributor. But it has a ignition coil. I brought the ignition coil to my auto shop and the teacher said its still good. The spark plug wires are still good. The spark plugs look pretty bad. Can it cause it to have no spark? What else can be the problem?What can cause the no spark problem on my Ford?check wires connecting to ignition coil to make sure they are clean and tight, check wire connections at the crankshaft and camshaft sensors(clean or tighten if necessary). also your crankshaft and/or camshaft sensor may be bad, they do go out more often than people think. testing them usually just involves measuring their resistance.I'd recommend getting an haynes manual for your specific vehicle or purchase a subscription at alldatadiy.com or go to your library and see if they have an auto repair manual for your vehicle, either of these options will tell you where these sensors are and how to specifically test them. lastly it could be your ignition module, to test these you will have to remove it(you may have to have a special socket also sold or rented cheaply) and take it to your local auto parts store. call first to make sure they test modules(advance and auto zone and o' reilly's usually do). they usually advertise the service and it's free! best wishes.What can cause the no spark problem on my Ford?Well no ****.What can cause the no spark problem on my Ford?Bad spark plugs can stop sparking, yes, they can. Put a set of new ones in. I suggest platimun plugs. I have a set that are still good after about 70,000 miles, that i installed back in 2003. If the spark plugs aren't the problem, check the battery. It should not be lower than 10 volts. If it is, that is likely the problem. The battery is supposed to carry 12 volts. Low voltage can allow the plugs to foul with unburned fuel. and carbon.What can cause the no spark problem on my Ford?
Check the relays that say engine or ignition. Also check the timing belt or chain. I can't see any other reason for it to not have spark.
