1996 460 EFI Will Not Start

Running one day and the next the engine would not start. It does have spark from the coil wire to the distributor. I have replaced the fuel pressure regulator valve because I thought the fuel might be returning to the tank. When I removed the old valve there was pressure in the fuel line. The engine turns over just fine but there is no evidence of it trying to start. Any suggestions on what to test or how to test would be great. Thanks Tom

I'd start by posting a thread in the 87-96 F-series on here instead. Much more active. Does the engine start if you spray starting fluid into the intake?

My 96 just quit running on me one day on the interstate. Turned over fine but wouldn't start. So I got it towed home and tried changing the dist cap/rotor but no luck. Then I found the module located on the driver side fender, below the hinge, had a bunch of corrosion under it. I pulled it and cleaned the surfaces and the truck has run perfect ever since...
