Oil Dump, Wont Start
1986 Ford F150, Went into coma. Died as I was comin off the off ramp. Wouldnt start after that. Turns over but wont start. Gas is in of course though, When tow truck came noticed a big puddle of oil. Hmmmm. I may be in denial but wanted to check the forum to see if theres hope. She still wont start and I just wanted to see if I could get a head start on fixin it. Seein how this is my only ride I was hopin somebody could give me a heads up. Any info or insight is appreciated,
Thanks,
UC

Do you have spark?
Did you run codes to see what it says. ($30 at Wal-Mart for a code checker)
Where did oil come from? Rear Main seal? Thrown rod? Back blow?
Need more information. It could be anything from a wire that fell off thus a free fix, a $5 part to a blown motor.
Good Luck,

Most engines that tossed a rod won't start, but if a fliter blew off, and it wasn't shut down in time.....the damage is likely done. The obvious compression test, test for spark, fuel(you've mentioned it had fuel, but is it flowing?) come to mind.

I was wondering if the truck had a fuel injected 302, because some fuel injected engines will not allow the fuel pump to run if there is no oil pressure in the engine.
I am not sure if this is the case with this motor or not. just thought I would mention it.

Is this a fuel injected engine, if so read on.
I had a similiar problem with my 86 XLT. Turned out I was not getting power to the high pressure in line fuel pump (not the pump in the tank). The battery had shifted and broke the ground which just happens to be a seperate wire to the ground side of the battery post. There are a lot things that could cause the problem you described. The more details you can give the better.
