please help me my 86 f150 w/ a 5.0 ho turns over and will pop off more so when i press the gas but will not start anyone have any suggestions i am use to points and a carb fuel injection is completly forign to me

 

If you are getting a good spark and fuel, you may have jumped a gear on your timing chain. I just had that problem recently and it's what brought me to FTE and now I just can't stay away!

I have an 84' 302 with 195,000 and the ceramic teeth on the timing gear finally gave way and the chain jumped 3 teeth. It just cranked and cranked but would not start. New chain and gears and it now runs great.

 

If the teeth on the original gear have come/broke off be sure to try to find all of them because if you don't the oil pump might pick up some or one of them and lock oil pump stripping the drive hex shaft of the distributer, don't trust the screen on the pickup tube of the oil pump to catch everything, I had a 70 302 that this happend to.

 

Check it with a timing light while cranking the motor.

 

well it was just a stupid problem 6 bottles of dry gas and 3 days later it started like it never stoped but my 69 still starts better with its points and carb with a messed up choke

 

Well, engines do not run well on water......
