Re: 1988 Beretta 2.8 wont start??

You need to check fuel pressure at the rail. It is possible that the fuel pump will work, but not supply enough pressure. Also check the vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator. If there is fuel in the vacuum hose, the FPR diaphram is shot and the regulator needs to be replaced. There are three ingredients for combustion, fuel/air, spark and timing. You seem to have spark, so you need to check fuel pressure next. It's very rare that a timing chain will go with no warning.
