Engine No start but cranks - Help please!

[95GT5OH]

First, I did search on here but did not see a thread, even though there most likely is one.

Here's the story: I have a 95 5.0 5sp that I picked up this summer to play with. Only known mods when purchased were smog pump delete and offroad h-pipe. I was driving one day and it "skipped"? twice a few minutes apart. By skip I mean it felt like I shut the car off and back on real quick. Then, as I was leaving an intersection, when I got to 2nd gear it died completely....and has not restarted.

Here's everything I've done/checked (all parts are new): coil, tfi, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor. The car cranks very well but I still have no spark. The fuel pump was due to getting a whopping 10psi at the testing port. I have zero spark coming from the coil. I did the cel flash test and kept getting 133, no idea what that could mean. I checked numerous times and I swear that's what it tells me. I also did a continuity test on all fuses at the drivers side strut tower and under the steering wheel - everything checked out fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs

Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected 5.0 Mustangs model years 1986-1995 A word about this checklist before you start: it is arranged in a specific order to put the most likely failure items first. That will save you time, energy and money. Start at the top of the list and work...

Pay attention to the highlighted stuff, start at the top following the directions.

It's only 'awesome' if it works, post here if you get stumped.
Or if you find and fix the issue.

Did you get it running op?

Did you get it running op?

Not yet. All signs point to the PIP. No better time than now to go ahead and upgrade another part! Just waiting for the distributor I want to come back in stock.

UPDATE!

Final verdict - replaced the distributor and she fired right back up! So I would say the PIP sensor was my issue this entire time. Fun fact - the Performance Distributors Hot Forged distributor comes with a new TFI...of course I learned this well after I was out of the return period for the Motorcraft TFI I had already purchased ‍
