Ignition Problem

Hello all.

I own a '93 Club Cab 2WD 3.9L V6 with 91K miles on it. It ran like a
dream until about 3 days ago. I am having some ignition problems and thought
that someone might have some experience with a similar problem.

Problem: The ignition cuts out intermittently. Sometimes while
driving and sometimes it won't even start. I have replaced the coil
because I thought that was the culprit. It started up and ran 3
times. While driving it would cut out for a fraction of a second and
then pick right back up. Now it won't start I don't have any spark.
The problem must be coming from the feed to the coil. I have ordered
a repair manual but am waiting for it to arrive tomorrow.

     Does anyone have any ideas, and are there any easy checks I can
run on culprit sensors that might save me some time and money. I know
that some of them can be checked with a v-ohm meter, but I don't have
the information I need to do this.

Thanks for any assistance you can lend.

Scott...
