HELP! Turns over perfectly but won't start! 280K, runs perfectly, what could it be?'89, ran good at lunch, after work I hop in, won't start. Checked wires, all that looks good, could it be fuel pump? timing chain?

do you have fuel pressure? if so are the injectors pulsing[ a cheap noid light will work,see sticky on "How and where to post" info on light] If you have spark and its not flodded one of those 2 things is gonna be your problem.

welp, apparently there was a leak in the back, the wiring to the fuel pump basically rotted away......
