I need help....
I have a '92 Ford F-150 with a 351 Windsor EFI. I've been getting very bad gas milage and its been running very rich lately so I decided to replace some emission components. All I have on the truck as far as emissions is an EGR valve and smog legal headers. Anyway I replaced the EGR valve, EGR position sensor, and the EGR solonoid. After I was done I tried to start it up and all it would do is turn over. I have ignition, I have fuel, and I'm almost certain I have air. I have new plugs, new wires, new cap, new roter, and a new coil. I have no Idea what the problem is. Any help would be great.

Check for fuel, spark and air. Then check you firing order to make sure it is correct. Are the plugs gapped correctly? Are the wires firmly attached (good connection)? Is the cap defective (cracks etc.)? Is the rotor making contact w/the cap? Is the coil wired correctly? Is the coil cracked? I know that you said most of this stuff is new, but sometimes you can get a brand new lemon from the parts store. Are you getting Current to the coil? I am not familiar w/your ignition system, but it could be something else in there (more than likely) that I don't know about. Make sure you check the basics first. After you get this engine running, you should reset the computer by disconnecting both battery terminals for a few hours. This will clear the codes that it stored.
