Hi,

Do me a favor. See if it starts using starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue.

If that is the case, I need you to check for fuel pressure.

Here is a link that explains in general how to do it:

You will need a fuel pressure gauge for this. However, most parts stores will lend one to you. Additionally, take a look at this link. It relates to a crank no-start condition.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
