Best place to start?

[ncmudslinger]

Ok my 87 comanche 4.0 has been running great every since I bought it this past summer(except for the cracked flexplate).

 

I came home thursday night everything was fine, I get in it the next morning and it cranks and cranks but won't even try to fire. Last night I had a few minutes to look at it and the fuel pump comes on when I turn the key, so I depressed the schrader on the fuel rail and got a short burst of gas and that was it and the fuel pump didn't come back on when the pressure dropped. I cycled the key off and back on and the pump comes back on.

 

Am I barking up the wrong tree? Maybe it's electrical?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

Fuel, fire, and air. You got fuel. Next check for spark.. Make sure you distributor cap and rotor button are good as well as the coil wire.. Thats where i would check next..

That's the culprit when a good running truck suddenly won't start, in probably 98.75% of the cases.
