Hello everyone,
I just finished completely rebuilding the 302 in my 1986 SSP (it would run on ether before the rebuild, thought it was a bad fuel pump). I have spark and fuel pressure at the rail, it will run on ether, but will not run otherwise. My timing is in the ballpark, confirmed by pulling #1 plug and taking it to compression (timing mark is right and rotor is at #1 on the cap) I also pulled the SPOUT while trying to get it to run.
While I doing the engine rebuild, I cleaned the fuel injectors 3 months ago with an ultrasonic cleaner and replaced the pintle caps and o-rings. New fuel tank, fuel pump and filter installed as well.
I added an additional ground from the engine to the chassis and will also add another ground to the fuel injection harness. I ordered a new distributor with Motorcraft TFI. Any other ideas?
Thanks
John
