Default dodge dakota no spark to the spark plugs coil is good help

i have a problem with my truck the coil shows spark but the wires going to each plug they are not getting spark i replaced the crank position sensor
and still the same problem just was driving down the road and it stalled out and would never start again ..could the pick up coil cause this problem.
sure could use some help with this
