No, electronic ignition uses a sensor in the engine shaft that determines the pulses. This omits the distributor in exchange for electrical control.
Yes, an MSD electronic distributor can work with a stock ignition coil, as long as the coil is compatible with the voltage and current output of the MSD system. However, for optimal performance and to fully utilize the benefits of the MSD setup, it is often recommended to pair it with a high-performance coil designed to handle higher energy output. Always check the specifications of both components to ensure compatibility.

On the Ford Explorer that has the EDIS ignition system ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) instead of a distributor it has a coil pack with 6 coil pack towers for the V6 engine
If this is the 4.3 engine, it is located on the bracket next to the ignition coil.

you mean a coil pack, the service manuals at autozon etc , have good descriptions in them on how to OHM out a coil pack.
A 2004 Mercury Mountaineer does not have the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system with ( 8 ) individual coils . It has the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ( EDIS ) with ( 2 coil packs ) and ( 8 ) spark plug wires
A wiring diagram for a Ford Festiva's electronic ignition distributor typically includes connections for the ignition coil, power supply, and ground. The ignition coil is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, while the negative terminal connects to the distributor. The distributor sends the spark signal to the ignition coil via a wire, and the ignition module or control unit regulates the timing. For specific wiring details, consult a repair manual or wiring diagram specific to the model year of your Festiva.
Maybe With out make model and year info here is a back ground answer. Most Modern Electronic Ignition systems operate by controling the ground for the ignition coil. These ground conections are "Common" or all hooked together. If there is no ground for the coil, there is a good chance none of the ignition is grounded correctly.
No distributor The 4.6 liter is EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) and has ( 2 ) coil packs The 5.4 liter has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system with ( 8 ) individual coils
You'd have to describe the components you replaced. Did you use a plug and go all in one distributor or did you replace the coil, distributor, and add an electronic ignition unit? If you "fried" your ignition, it's likely you fried something else along the line too. Check all your components.
All the engines used in a 1998 Ford Explorer have electronic ignition ( EDIS , Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) The 4.0 liter EFI , V6 and the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 use one coil pack for the six sparkplug wires The 5.0 liter , V8 engine uses two coil packs for the eight spark plug wires
