89 E-250 won't start

I need some help. Had my 89 E-250 idling in the driveway for about 15 minutes and it stalled on me. Went to restart it and it won't start. Its got the 7.5L engine. I plugged in the OBD tool and it came back with no faults. Of course I couldn't run the whole test because the van won't start. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start looking or how to troubleshoot this problem?

do the basics. Check for spark, check for fuel pressure.
