my call out for help with truck; stumped near detroit
i'm stumped as to what's wrong with my truck.
it's an 89 f150 with the 302 EFI AOD 2wd. XLT lariat
i'm near detroit so if anyone can offer a hand and/or advise come take a look at my truck that would be great. it just won't start. just cranks and crank until it finally leaves me with a dead battery.
thanks.

ok. problem fixed. i finally got time to replace the plugs and wires, i also replaced the dist. cap.
the truck started right up. i went to hook up the scanner to the plug under the hood and then the truck cut out.
turns out one of the fuel pump relay wires was extremely corroded that the terminal end broke off, hence cutting off fuel to the motor when i was handling the wires in that area for the scanner.
whether this was the original problem in the begining, i wouldn't know. but now i gotta run to the store and grab a terminal so i can hook up the fuel relay back on.
and here i was blowing my nonstart problem out of proportion with the TFI harness and module and the distributor...
thanks, guys.
