Ok i have a 76 ford f100 4x4 . Its been snowing here finally lol and the truck has been running great until today. I ran out and started it to let i warm up . Then after about five minutes i could hearcthe rumble and it just died no sputter or anything just dead and it will not restart and ideas i need the truck tonite badly so any hel would be awesome thankbu

 

define just dead...when you turn the key nothing happens, or the engine cranks over but doesn't start?

 

Need more specific info, will not do anything at all, no click or buz or just turn over and not start? If no click or buzz, turn on headlights to see if the battery is toast.

Out of gas, clogged fuel filter, water in the lines froze, coil died, electronic ignition (brain box died. Alternator died, fried a voltage regulator?

 

^^^ yes , more info please ..

 

Sorry . Yes the engine cranks but no start i checked the choke its ok and there is fuel going to the carb . But it wont start. Coil maybe???

 

The engine cranks quit well actually lol so battery is good should be its new lol i was thinking the coil maybe but it has power i just dont think any is getting to the plugs

 

Well, you know what the next step is....don't ya...check for spark.

 

Sounds like a no spark issue then. Ck all the important wiring mybe be something just came off? If it cranks and at good strong speed you need to ck for fire at the coil.

 

MTHB you beat me to it, how ya been?

 

Pretty good man....you still overseas, or coming back for Xmas?

 

Тем не менее через пруд ... и не домой на каникулы. (Still across the pond..and no home for the holidays.)

 

At least you're making the big bucks....which translates to more dent parts when you come home.

 

Speaking of big bucks, I had to leave before rifle deer season started..... won't be home for x mas or new year and looks like another extension to stay here is right around the corner.

I am not in the best of moods about the first extension let alone another one, but yes you are correct it means more Ford truck money in the end. But at this rate I will not be there to work on or drive them for a while.

Thanks for trying to cheer me up, what are doing up this hour?

Wonder if that guy ever checked for spark?

 

It's only 12am here....

nobody ever checks for spark, even after you ask you them to.

 

Good morning.
