Default Crank but no turn over

A few months ago I parked my 91 mustang my dad went to move it and all it would do was crank but not turnover I remembered it didn't have much gas so I thought he blew the fuel pump so I changed it and it didn't Do anything a friend told me it might be the tfi module so I changed that as well I checked the relay it was fine. I have fuel coming and spark does anyone have any idea what's going on?

What exactly do you mean by 'cranking but not turning over?' Do you mean it's turning over but won't start?

Spray carb cleaner in the throttle body while turning it over and see if it tries to crank.

define , helps a little?? meaning once you spray the ether in the throttle body it fires for a split second?? Be generous on the squirt so it'll run for more than a nano second.
