new to forum... help please!

Hey all, I recently bought a 1993 f150 2wd manual tranny w/4.9 6cyl. for $300. The problem...It won't start, The guy i bought it from I know very well and the truck is immaculant, he said he replaced the ignition module on the firewall and it started fine for a week....and then started not starting again so he gave up and hasn't touched it since....any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!!

When you try to start it does it click or try to turn over at all?

You have to do some checks to see if it's getting fuel from the pumps-dual tanks or single?. Mine is acting up as we speak, one's dead the other one sounds like it's going soon I'll be just like yours.
