My 2004 5.0 GXI-E Ser #4012104137 will crank but no start.Vodia tool says no faults fuel pressure is fine,12.4 volts at coil with key on.Cap & rotor are clean voltage drop at coil is 10.9 when cranking.spark tester shows spark but its orange not blue.Any ideas? Could the coil get weak & not completely quit?

A couple seasons back, I had an identical problem with my 5.0 GXiB. Turned out that the just replaced rotor (by V-P authorized shop!) was cracked. Replaced it and end of problem.

Coil could be weak, make sure it's got a good clean ground and all the connections are clean on both the coil and the module.
Check the coil high tension lead ends and do an ohm test on the wire.
