Won't start
I have a 95 F-150 with the 5.8. When I try to start it, it cranks but never turns over. It did this to me yesterday and I reset the fuel shut off and it started up fine. Tried the same thing today and no luck. Any suggestions on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you need to replace the fuel shut off switch.
But use a test light and stick it in each wire as you turn the key to on. The test light should light for one second each time you turn on the key.
By the way cranks and turns over have the same meaning.
I take it you mean it turns over but will not start.
If the test light does not light for one second at the Inertia fuel shutoff switch when you do the test on either wire then post back and we will help you some more.

Yes you can unplug the Inertia fuel shutoff switch and jump the pins in the plug you remove from the switch for a test.
