Dear Len,
The crankshaft senor could very well be the problem. You replaced the coil, ( old one probably still good) have fuel and have power to the coil. This leaves me to believe the crank senor is bad. First visually check the senor and tigger wheel for damage. Second check with a volt meter the voltage at the harness with the key on. It should be between 0.8 to 2.2 (approx). If the above checks out it's probably the senor. Good luck :o

Dear Len,
Glad you found the problem and the car is now running. Unfortunately the only place to buy the harness is from Ford unless you can find a junkyard that may have one.
Happy hunting and Good luck BYM :D
