1990 tbird wont start

[FORDGUY09]

i just got a 1990 tbird 3.8l handed to me have a few problems

1. Had no fuel to engine
result straight wired it now got fuel

2. It will turn over, but will not start
result checked plugs, wires, spark all is good
funny part is you have to put ur foot on the break pedal to try to start it not normal at all dont know what relay to replace or if it is a relay that needs to be replaced

other than that its in good standing anything will help thank you

do you know if the timing has been messed with?
just because it has spark, doesn't mean it has enough to ignite.
my 89 did something similarand it had sprark when I checked, but it still had a bad coil, and it wouldn't start untill I put in a different one.
oh, and in 1990, you were supposed to hold the brake to start them.
