Last time i drove it a few months ago it started right up no issues.

I pulled the #1 plug wire and cranked it over and had spark, also have fuel pressure at the rail.

I haven't changed anything since driving it last and it cranks over fine. Thoughts...

Does it have injector pulse? You will need a noid light to check and they are available for rental at most parts stores.

What does the fuel smell like?

Do you have the tools on hand to drain a bit from the rail?

Got it to start, no idea how.

Went out and tried one more time after dinner and it started.

Im wondering if it was flooded? The plug i pulled had a really strong gas smell.

Another issue did come up after i drove it that ill have to start a new thread on. Never ends it seems.
