Question Got issues

Hey Guys,

Ive got an 85 bronco with a 302 EFI motor. One night i went over to my freinds house, turn it off, came out, and it wouldnt start. The next day i went to AutoZone, and they told me it was a starter solinoid or the starter. Well i got both, put them in, and it just made a clicking noise. I went back down to AutoZone, and they told me it was the Throttle Sensor on the bottom if the intake. So i changed that today, then i took out the spark plugs to drain the gas out of the cylinders, put them back in, and it still dont run... Whats Wrong??? Can anyone tell me please??

P.S. Whats the firing order for my motor?

Thanks

2. First thing is first check your battery

Click noise Eh? Check the battery..Mine makes a 'clicking noise' when that battery is dead..Like last night.. It was making a clicking noise..so i charged it a bit..and it started.. Reason my battery dies is because i dont drive it ( working on it ) and sometime i go out there and listen to the radio.. Im gonna start ..starting it every week.. But yeah..check that battery

I agree with both those guys. Quit listening to Autozone shadetree mechanics. Most of em only know what they hear and have not had much experience under the hood. Check your battery and connections. I had the same issue until I replaced my terminals. Losts of clicking. Just enough contact to get a little power but not enought ot start til the new ones were in.
