2.8 MPFI no spark
I changed the cap/rotor here, still not getting spark. Just happened when it got real cold out. Any ideas on what it is? Thanks in advance

get a test light and see if you are getting power from the coil. If you are, work out toward the engine, if you are not, you know you have to go the other way. I think that is a really good place to start though.
