Default RE: my 5.0 wont start

First off you need to find out more info, do you have spark? do you have fuel? If you have spark then spray carb cleaner in the intake and see if it fires. If you dont have spark then it could be a few things, blown fuses, bad stator, bad coil, bad ignition module, bad cap rotor wires. Take the distibutor cap off and make sure it turns when cranking the engine, etc.

dont replace anything yet

first of all check fuel pressure. hook up a guage and turn the key on and make sure you have fuel pressure and make sure it doesnt bleed off really fast.

if thats good then check spark. check it at the coil wire then check 1 or 2 of the plug wires.

if you have spark and fuel but it still wont start, check out your plugs. see how they look. and while they're all out run a compression test and make sure its building compression.
