No Start...need help
I have a 96 EFI 3.2l Bronco.
I left for work this morning and it started fine. I stopped to get gas and when I went to start it back up it wouldn't start. It sound like the started is turning the engine, but it just won't start. I checked the feul cutoff switch and it was still engaged...I guess my question from here on is what are the simple things to check first before looking at major things? What is a procedure to check it? Any info will be helpful.
Another question...say it is the feul pump what is an estimated cost on having it replaced?
Thanks

The Bronco NEVER had a 3.2L engine. That would barely get it rolling.
'96 Broncos have an OBD-II computer, so find a local parts store that pulls codes free and see what errors the computer has noticed.

I actually am doing that currently. Only problem is could it be as simple as a bad fuse or relay?

No. OBD-II codes can't be pulled without a scantool. 
The Haynes manual will show you how to check the fuses & everything else. Just read the Troubleshooting section, the Fuel & Exhaust chapter, and examine the wiring diagrams in the back. Your '96 is slightly different from the '92 wiring shown, but it's close.

Also, how's da battery and terminals/cables/? Is it turning over as well as normally?

yo,
We had a freakin' adventure trying to figure out what happened. Eventually, we called the station and they admitted that they had a full tank of diesel in their reg octane gas tank(s).
some said that it couldn't reach the engibe because the fuel filter would clog; but the diesel did reach the plugs, etc.
One way to ck is to look at a plug or two and see if it is fouled; another way is to take a sample of the gas to get it analyzed at a dealership (where the car was towed to after we tried to read the codes).
Call the station for the heck of it and ask them if they've had any complaints.
