Dont knock the hello kitty pjs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm knocking the "grown up" that thought going out in public in dingy, thread bare, food stained pajama bottoms with cartoon characters on them was a good idea. They couldn't take 20 minutes out of their day to shower and change before they go out in public?

You check your distributor?

Try the distributor.

So do you have spark at the plugs? If not -ignition control module.-Cheap fix is a used or new distributor.Otherwise the distributor needs to be dissassembled to replace ICM.
Is you have spark,do you hear your fuel pump clicking on like usual?
If not there is a little tiny fuel pump relay under the hood.Drivers side on on top of the fender.You can pop it apart and it'll work again.Its a little contact points set up,sometimes they stick closed.
If I had a camera a could post to help.Keep me posted.I 've never found a Ford that can't be fixed

 

[BarnBuster]

I'd vote for ICM too. Do you have any spark at all or just weak?

I used to have a one piece pajama suit with feet. It was yellow, and on the tummy was a bear face. I had it from age 3 to age 5. By the time i was 5, it was busting at the seems, but i love those damn pajamas. I want an adult pair just like it.

I still have my teddy bear. He's yellow too. its over 30 years old and he still has all his parts. that bear is fucking pimp.

[h=1]Seattle police return weed confiscated from suspected street dealers[/h] 1 day ago
The Seattle Police Department had a notable first recently: Officers returned pot they confiscated from suspected street dealers. SPD spokesman Sean Whitcomb said, "In street dealing cases, this would be the first time. Ever."

Washington has decriminalized the drug on a statewide level, but selling it sans license is still against the law. Six of the 12 individuals were arrested and charged with dealing — the SPD claims it arrested only those with a history of drug dealing or violent crime.

The other six men were released with their drugs and a warning to stop smoking in public. Seattle, you win our Most Polite Police Department Award, and until arresting officers start providing potheads with snacks en route to prison, you're likely to keep it.

I love this city....

Thanks guys. Distributor i havnt checked because i found the bad pump( the 89 bronco for some odd reason has two pumps, one in tank and one in line. Figured awesome i found the problem. In line pump. Nope. Is there an easy way to test the distributor cap or should i just replace it? They are fairly cheap. Havent checked the relay either as the pump was bad. Will also check that.

slow down brother.Question 1) So do you have spark and no fuel ? or Do you have neither? We need to narrow it down between ignition or fuel.Rarely is it both at the same exact time,but stranger things have happened.
I always check the relay before my pumps.My relays would stick all the time.I'd fix it w/ a jackknife and be GTG.I've had very little pump failures on the 89ish fords.But that can be a regional/rusty tank issue.We don't get any rust up here
