ok guys no spark or fuel in my 88 ranger 2wd 2.9 v6 5spd

so far ive replaced the eec and fuel relays

i have power at all the fuel relay wires except the orange and blue wires which i believe send power to the inertia switch

also have power at the eec relay and coil not very good at this stuff could use a bit of help need the truck in a couple days
 
Sounds like the pump may be bad. When you turn the key can you hear the fuel pump run building up pressure?
 
The 1988 2.9l should have a TFI ignition system, inside the distributor is a CMP(cam position) sensor, this tells the ignition module and computer that the engine is turning over so to start sparking and to start the fuel injectors.

I would read here and then print the work sheet:

A step by step to ID the problem
 
Just because you have power doesn't mean you have a way for that power to return to the negative terminal, I.e. Check all grounds.
