97 Mountaineer won't start

[91Merc5o]

I installed pushrods this past weekend, and zipped it all back up to find the truck wouldn't start! I verified I had fuel, but I'm not getting any spark. I somewhat tore it down today to check for loose connections, but everything is firmly connected. I'm beginning to suspect the computer as the culprit, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to try, including how to test the computer with it out of the vehicle?

TIA,

Erik

Found the answer to my own problem. The throttle position sensor wires got stuck under one of the throttle body bolts since Ford doesn't know how to keep stuff out of the way, and broke 2 of the wires, grounding them to the block. Pulled the sensor, rejoined the wires, and it started right up.
