YO!
Is there spark the plugs?
-------------
The module and pickup (Hall Effect (Stator (RPM)) in the distr are common problems and can be tested.
Ford TFI; "the Hall Effect Signal is called the “Profile Ignition Pick-up” (PIP) signal. Corroded connectors between the Hall Effect PIP unit in the distributor and the TFI module on the distributor housing are common. Replacing the sensor isn’t as easy on these applications because you have to R&R the distributor shaft."

since it won't start, just do the KOEO test
 
if you get any codes; post em here or look them up in my site for possible causes
also, some codes are in here; + the TFI Module test; btw, there was a Recall on these modules:

Hello deb34,
I have an 88 Bronco II and had the same trouble. Fortunately, a freind was a mechanic and told me about a part I did not know existed on my Bronco. Right behind and below the rotar is a small chip, like a stick o RAM memory. It fastens in with a small screw and slips out. It cost about $245 at Ford, but I was able to locate 1 at a salvage yard for $20. It takes a short, 3" screw driver to get to it. Removal of rotar is not required, but may make it easier. Once I replaced that all the problems went away. It is unfortuante that I spent all the money on the other parts!!

1988 Ford Bronco II Starter Problem by classiclo1959

Just yesterday I started having a problem with the original starter on my 1988 Bronco II. The bendix or solenoid does not seem to kick out when it should after vehicle starts and runs on for a short time. Is this the starter itself, or the solenoid on the right fender?

I'm looking for a 89" Ford Bronco II Cab Visor. I can't find one locally and I am stuck on getting one. Does anyone know where one can be found; and how I could buy one over the internet from a private seller without getting ripped off. I'm up for any suggestions? Thanks.
