89 formy 350

died on me last night and was having trouble staying running. Fired up fine this morning, and now won't start.

Fuel pump is fine, wires are good. It needs a MAF (anybody got one??) but was running decent.

thoughts....

I've never had a bad MAF keep mine from starting.

"Won't start" doesn't tell us anything. Doesn't crank? Cranks but doesn't try & ignite & "turn over?"

Tap the schraeder valve to check fuel pressure w/ a gauge & make sure you're getting spark by putting on a rubber glove & holding a boot away from a plug.

Turns out the sprinklers got water in the dist. Gonna have to deal w/ that. Needs the fresh plugs too.

Oh, you guys don't know me in here. Won't ever see me with what turns out to be a dead battery thread. Should have been more detailed.

Thanks for the help.
