MasterThe 5.0L V8 in the 2001 Explorer has two coils - each one firing four plugs.
The ignition system / spark is controlled by the PCM.
There is a PCM relay in the battery junction box - the box with fuses and relays near the battery.
The crankshaft sensor is also one to have a look at to make sure it is sending the signal.
