86 3.8 No start

Hey all, Ive got a little problem here.

I have a 1986 3.8 automatic mustang that i need to get to my work so i can put the trans from my other into it. The car has been sitting four a good 3 months now, It was running when i parked it.

Battery is fully charged. I have spark at the coil, spark at the distributor side of the coil, and spark at the plugs ( in the one i tried, it was pissing down rain so ya know...) I poked the shrader and fuel came out, i also hear the 2 second whine when the key is first turned. It has a new fuel pump relay.

Now i was just wondering. Could my spark plugs have gotten coroded? I dont want to pull them ou tif i dont have to, because whoever owend the car before me didnt ever change em so there in there pretty solid and i dont want to strip em . Or could the motor just be damp as hell and just needs to dry out a bit?

Re: 86 3.8 No start

So it ran when your parked it but it wont re-start? You have fuel, fire..and I'm sure compression? What happens when you turn the key? The motor turns over and just wont start? Are you sure you have enough fuel pressure? Is the gas itself bad? Need a little more info. Any motor needs 3 things to start. (1) fuel, (2) fire, (3) compression. You are missing one of these, atleast at the right time or amount if that makes sence. You need to verify fuel pressure, fire that the plugs, and compression.
