Default Taurus not getting spark

Strangest thing. Have a 95 Taurus that has been sitting for about 5 months. Started it on a regular basis just not driven. Decided to pull it out to drive again. Started up great, put on new front brakes and replaced thermostat. Started up great again after repairs. Came out about 20 minutes later, car will not start again. Replaced several things including coil and ignition control modules. Car turns over no spark. Suggestions ??

Yes check the pickup at the distributor, check for power, and fuseable link against firewall behind engine. check for good connection. if you need to go farther you'll probably want to start looking at crank and cam sensors. good luck
