Check for spark, injector pulsing and fuel pressure. There's a decent chance the TFI module has gone south.

Good luck.

It will turn over?

I noticed with mine, if I turn the key allthe way, the starter acts like it seizes and the engine wont start, but if I turn the key just enough to start it, it starts fine. Has nothing to do with spark...Just a thought...

What diagnostics were done that led to the TFI needing to be changed? Was it changed with a known good module?

What did you mean about it getting fuel? It has fuel pressure or injector pulsing?

Is the battery in the stock location? Also when it cranks and not starting is it cranking at normal speed?

Is the FPR leaking gas back into the Vac system?
