No start after dieing

Ford F-150 1992  1660000 miles
Engine was running fine while warming it up on a cold. After 15 min of running i was about to put it in gear and it just died and would not refire. I began to diagnose by checking for spark at plugs, none, fuel rail pressure, none, all the fuses are good and the breaker for the fuel pump is good. I have power on 1 side of the ignition coil but none on the other when cranking over. I have no power to the fuel pump but i have it at the fuse and relay. After it died I thought I smelled smoke in the cab but cant find anything burnt. I removed the ECM and it smells a little like it but i'm not sure it is. I have been told to switch the ECM out with 1 with a different # on it but I know that there is at least 2 different ECM's for this model and I don't a
Want to make this issue worse. Is the ECM responsible for supplying power to the fuel and ignition ststem with key turned on?

My 2003 F 150 is in mint condition and well maintained. It has a brand new battery and started great yesterday but it won’t crank this morning.

It has great cranking power but won’t turn over. The starting/cranking has great power but the engine won’t engage/start.
