Sent to Car Experts April 19 02:23 PM

One day i was driving my 1990 ford f150. While on the gas the truck stopped and would not start again.(towed home) Although some times sluggish, I never had this problem.

I initially thought the fuel pump was out, but it clearly comes on and the preessure checks out good under the hood.

The truck want's to start but won't fire so I have changed the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires; change the cap and rotor along with the coil.

What else could the problem be?

I have no reading, but in terms of the burst of fuel from the pressure spout its high. I forgot that I have also tried started fluid and no fire.

Have you pulled a plug wire and checked for spark at the plug while cranking?
