Unhappy Truck won't start.

I have an 88' F350, it has spark and it will start if you spray gas in the intake. It has fuel in the port on the fuel rail, and you can here the pump running. What makes the injectors spray fuel?

You should have 12V at the injectors. Check that with the ign. key "on"

I used my test light and there is power on both sides of the injector connector.

There is a pick-up coil in the dist. that triggers the injectors but if it was defective I don`t think you would have spark. Maybe you should check what fuel pressure you have at the throttle body. Should be about 12psi I think. Also have you a Check Engine Light on? Even if not you should try pulling codes. Go to fordfuelinjection.com to find out how (you don`t need a code reader).
