Truck turning over but not firing? Gas may not be getting to carburetor
The truck is a 1984 Ford F250, 5.8L v8 351c engine. It's been sitting for a few years and I've decided to try and get it running again. When you try to start it, the engine will turn over but it will not fire. If it is sprayed with ether it will try and fire but will not stay running. I've changed the spark plugs, fuel filter, and fuel pump. It was originally thought that the fuel pump was bad, but I replaced that yesterday and it made no difference. Could the gas lines be clogged or gone bad? I'll be replacing the spark plug wires next as they're pretty worn out and would need to be changed anyway, maybe that'll help. Any ideas of what it could be or any tips?
Actual module on the distributor is probably bad and you're not getting spark.
Start simple and go from there… Is there any fuel in the tank? I just bought a vehicle that was advertised as "not running due to electrical problem"… The problem was no fuel in tank!
- I was getting gas in my 94 ford ranger EXTCAB and gas was pouring out under truck? How do I see if its the fuel neck? I used a tiny auto camera to stick all the way down the gas neck and didn't see any holes
- May car tries to turn over while the key is the accessories position. Why is that? Car is a 1971 Ford Mustang 302 5.0 V8. I replaced all the gaskets, rebuilt the carb, had a new solenoid, voltage regulator, started, coil, timing chain, and oil pump put into the car. I'm getting a new Neutral Safety switch for the vehicle but could that be it?
- I replaced the distributor and it is firing on the right, but not on the left any sugg? I had to replace the distributor on my ford truck. Because it was shearing off. Now the truck won't start. We're getting fire on the drivers side, but not the passenger side. Any suggestions as to what we're doing wrong
- Why won't the gas in my fuel tank go in the carburetor? 1984 Ford F-150 302 5.0 Automatic? I have put a new fuel tank, new starter, new battery, new fuel lines, the fuse is good for the fuel tank. I have at least a 1/4 of a tank in the fuel tank, i can only get it to run if i put gas directly into the carb, it won't flow from the furl tank to the carb. What should i do? Please Help. * i meant new fuel pump, not tank.
