1989 5.0 Liter HO won't start
I am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction. I have before me a 1989 5.0 Liter HO engine that will not start. Mileage on the car is 163,000 and appears original. It ran fine when it was driven into the driveway. Now, when you attempt to restart, the starter cranks, the engine turns, but it will not start. The fuel pump buzzes when you turn the key. You can smell fuel from the exhaust pipes after you crank. The distributor turns with the crank. There is no detectable slop in the timing chain when you reverse the rotation of the crank by hand. And my inductive pick-up timing light flashes when the engine is cranking.
Is there any common trouble spot that might create this set of symptoms? It has the TFI-IV ignition system. Any help here would be appreciated.
