if its gettin spark to the plugs the plugs might be bad if this is just something that suddenly happened. Was it running fine and then all of the sudden it wouldn't start? Did you put a fuel pressure gauge on the rails to test the fuel pressure?

i think its like 40 or something, but how do you know your getting fuel at the rails if you haven't tested it? Did your bronco run just fine and then not run all of the sudden, the next time you started it up?

ok if you didn't, drain out all of the fuel on the rail and then try to start the truck. Then go and push the pin down again and see if there is any fuel in there.
Do you hear the fuel pump buzz when you turn the ignition on?

could the timing be extremely off. i took the distributor out to change the ignition module which wasnt the problem. but b4 i took the distributor out i marked its place and made sure it was at the same exact place it was. but i had to crank the engine to get it in again

so you tested the spark plug wires and all of them are getting spark? if so i would just replace the plugs and see what happened. It has to be something simple, but it could be something like computer went bad, injectors etc , wiring..which i hope it isn't,thats why were looking over these simple things first. somebody else has to have some better ideas
