Do you definitely know if the coil and distributor is good?
No fire and run out of idea's, please help
Hey guys, my 5.0 has been sitting for a year and recently tried to fire it up last weekend, problem is i'm getting fuel just no fire through the distributor.
I've read up on the "crank but no start" thread and tried everything possible i can think of.
So no I'm out of idea's :headscratch:

Most likely something is sour in the distributor. Check for fire at the plugs, then track back.
Just changed the coil cept still no fire at the plugs nor the coil:scratchchinMost likely something is sour in the distributor. Check for fire at the plugs, then track back.
Distributor, next stop. Might be the DI module (pricey part) - what model year is this 5.0?Just changed the coil cept still no fire at the plugs nor the coil:scratchchin

It could be the pickup, or what's called the Hall Effect sensor. Does the tach jump up and down when you're trying to start it?
Pick up or TFI gets my vote.
you can take the TFI to a parts store and have them test it for free. The Pick -up Coil( or Hall Effect sensor as Eagle refers it) is another story. You can test it, but requires dismanteling the dizzy to acess it. If you want the Test Let me know.

If you have a buddy with an alike car, just do the dizzy swap to see if yours starts with his dizzy.
I was farting around to see what the problem could be for it not to fire, and found it..
I turned the crank by hand and turns out the rotor inside the distributor isn't turning at all, any inputs?
am i fubared with the cam?

Pull the dizzy out, sounds like you have sheared the roll pin on the shaft. Becareful and try not to drop the gear in the motor.I was farting around to see what the problem could be for it not to fire, and found it..

check your timing chain, the distributor shaft is run by the camshaft
