Hey guys my 1988 f-150 daily driver took a crap the other night. I was driving and hit a decent sized bump in the road. All of a sudden the truck backfired a couple times and bogged down. A buddy towed me off the road and we got it to fire up a couple times but every time it would run rough Then smooth out then run rough again. Every time I put it in great it would stall. Now 3 days later all it does is crank repeatedly and won't fire up no matter how much gas I give it. I can't figure out weather its ignition or fuel delivery. Any suggestions? I really need to get the truck running again. Thanks in advance.

Check the 3 needed items for operation..
Fuel, spark, motion..

it cranks so there's 1
spark @ plugs ???  all 6, if not go backwards towards the cap/rotor
fuel at intake ???  air cleaner off, WFO a couple times should see fuel squirt in the venturi.
 

Over the Edge Sharpening systems, cutlery, shear, scissor sharpening

It's all fun and games till someone gets knocked up.. down or out !
