Im so clueless on this but I have a 1986 ford f150 6cyl, auto and for some reason she just wont start. My problem is that when I try to start it (which it doesnt) then I shut off the key and the motor keeps trying to crank over until I have to disconnect wont start after replacing all electrical components with all brand new parts.

We're clueless too until you give us some details. Are you working in the ignition system? Fuel supply system?

The most expensive and least effective way to diagnose a problem is by throwing lots of random parts at it. You would save a lot of money by having it professionally diagnosed.

So I have to guess you have no spark? What have you tried already? What have you tested? How did it quit? Did it stall while you were driving? Has it been sitting a long time? Please give just few details so we know where to start.
