I Have a 1990 Ford Bronco. It has been sitting for about 3 months now. I go out to start it up it wont turn over. I thought it may be the battery so I replaced that it didnt seem to help. So then I put in new gas and oil. Didnt help. I think it may be the fuel pump Im not sure. Any help?

Does the engine turn over? Have you tried jump starting? Do you know if fuses are good (after the jump start attempt)?

Yes the engine turns over but then dies on me. I tried giving it a jump and it did the same thing. It may be the fuel. I will give that a check and yes the fuses are good, I just recently replaced them about 4 months ago, should still be in good shape.

When you first turn the key on do you hear the fuel pump hum? Do you know how to check for spark? Does the engine turn on and die right away or does it just crank from the starter and never turn on?

Check fuel pump pressure. If it starts then dies, chances are you are the ignition is working.
