Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am back and having some awful issues. I have a 1992 F-250 WITH A 351 WINDSOR 5.8 L, O.K., this is the delima, my truck wont start. Sometimes I could take the coil wire off the distributor cap and it would start and run like a new engine but that was only every once in a while. After that is done it will start almost everytime or a few times even with the coil wire all the way down on the distributor cap. i can let the truck set for am hour or so and it is messed up again. I checked to see if the coil was firing and it was very erratic firing and a yellowish spark, I replaced the coil, the firing is good but it is still doing the same thing. It actually has started one time since the new coil but it ran rough and missed. Now it wont start at all. I have changed the distributor cap, rotor button. I have also checked all body grounds and all is good. This truck has been setting for maybe 4 months until I got it. When I got it the gas cap was off and I hav e been thinking that it may have got gas in the fuel tank. I have tried priming the truck and even after spraying gas in it, it will still not hit everytime. Sometimes it will hit a little and sometimes it will run until the fuel is burned out. Any help in getting my wonderful old "BUT NEW TO ME" truck on the road would be appreciate so very much, thanks a 3/4 ton, Jeff

Or a tank of bad gas! Or maybe a bad coil wire.

Just a suggestion...

You might get more responses, and more targeted responses if you would state the problem in your thread title...

"Please help" with the extra !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! isn't going to draw anyone in...

You now have an identical post on page 1 and page 2. Rather than filling up the board with post after post, be more descriptive in your subject and you might get better response.
