My friend has a 1993 Lincoln Continental with a 3.8L V6. It got to the point of when you would drive it somewhere and it would get warm, it wouldn't crank back. Well now it won't fire at all. I have replaced the ignition control module, the ignition coil, and the pick-up coil in the distributor. I have checked voltage going to the coil and it is fine. I can't think of anything else that might cause it to do this. I could really use your help!

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
