Dead F150
Does anyone know why my old heap might just lay down and die in front of the local NAPA? It was running great and I shut it off to go inside for some goodies and when I came back out the thing just won't start. It has fuel and the pump fires right up. I assume it must be electrical...How can I check the fire by myself? I can't see under the hood.

If you can't see under the hood it's going to be very difficult to troubleshoot, never mind fix.

I can open the hood, I just can't see spark jumping from the drivers seat.

You don't have an extra set of hands that can turn the key while you check for spark?
Did you check fuel pressure at the rail?

That'll only work if it doesn't have an "idiot switch" on the clutch, right?
