No, electronic ignition uses a sensor in the engine shaft that determines the pulses. This omits the distributor in exchange for electrical control.
test ignition coil,ignition module,pick-up coil,electronic spark control,and knock sensor
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
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
On The Crankshaft It Has A Magnet & On The Timing Cover It Has A Pick Up Coil, This Sends The Control Box Under The Coils Information As When To Fire That Coil. The Timing Is Done By The Computer.
No , the 4.6 liter has EDIS ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) with ( 2 ) coil packs and the 5.4 liter V8 has the Coil On Plug ( C.O.P. ) ignition system with ( 8 ) individual coils
