I have 5.0 reference
Well 5.23, I have compression, I have fuel spark and timing is on point.
After assembling the engine it run twice but when tried to take for a test drive it couldn't start....
I notice injectors are firing at the same time in no sequence at all .. pleas help
when the engine started diid it run smoothly or not? How long did it actually run?
How does the engine sound when cranking over, any backfire, unusual noise etc? How did you verify that it's getting fuel, did you see the injector spraying or did you just check for injection pulse?
As this is a distributor system you might want to check your spark timing, maybe it shifted.If not already done you also can try fresh gasoline if the vehicle was at rest for a longer period of time, also check the fuel pressure. The MAF sensor is a crucial systeml input, make sure it's ok.
It's normal during cranking to observe simultaneous injection on this system, this is no problem.
An expert is someone who knows each time more on each time less, until he finally knows absolutely everything about absolutely nothing.

It run for 2 minutes and yes it run normal. As you know in a minivan the engine is under front seat... So I shut it off to complete installing the seat . After that I tried it and Only cranks. I actually removed the injectors and the were spraying.. I have no too to measure fuel pressure but from the looks of things it sprayed good.
As for the mas air flow sensor am yet to change it... Thanks will try it this morning.
