What could be the problem if a 1988 Ford F-150 6 cylinder is not firing from the coil to the distributor?

First you need to test the leads going to the coil to make sure you have juice. If that is ok. before you go and buy a new coil, find a coil wire or a spark plug wire and test it to see if it sparks, if no spark it is probably your coil. There are ways to test the coil indepth with a multi meter, I have never tried it only read about it in a few of my haynes/chilton's manuals.

Why does one cylinder missfires on your Kia Optima 2002?
It is probably an ignition problem. Check the mis-firing cylinder's ignition cable from the distributor to the spark plug. A quick check would be to replace the ignition cable on the mis-firing cylinder with one from a firing cylinder. That can rule out the cable. You could have also have a broken or fouled plug. or a bad distributor cap. Carbon tracks inside or on the outside of the cap can allow the spark to jump to ground. If it isn't that, then you have a collapsed lifter or something more expensive.

Depends on what you did before the car stopped working. Could be a bad ecu could be the optical encoder in the distributor maybe a bad fuse. Make sure all engine harnesses are plugged in, make sure you see the check engine light when you turn the key to ON and check the inside of the distributor for cleanliness.
