Re: 95 transport 3.1

I'm assuming not starting at all now as opposed to maybe catching & quitting, or some hint of a start?

Usual drill for no starts is checking & sorting out spark & or fuel.

Easy way to see if you have spark is with a timing gun connected & turning over the engine. Used to be able to check for spark with a plug removed & grounded, then spinning the engine but not sure about this with new stuff. If no spark, then could be many reasons for that ..wiring etc & ignition system needs to be sorted out.

Used to be able to use quick start or squirt some fuel in the carb to see if the engine'd fire or start. That'd mean spark & the ignition system is ok & indicate some kinda fuel prob like a plugged filter or worn out pump.

Important to rule things out so as not to waste money changing good parts. Deal with known probs first.
