i have a 1990 2.3 liter ford 4 cylinder here that wont start.ran fine when put away last season.new points and condenser,spark plugs.as 155 lbs. compression,good spark at plugs.i have dribbled gas down the carb and it doesnt even begin to fire.crossed 2 wires and it wont even back fire.acts just like the coil wire is off.i pulled 1 plug and laid it on the motor and it was blue jumping across.these plugs seen to stay dry no matter what i do.i even put gas in the plug holes and nothing.plenty of gas when throttling out the accelerator pump.this is crazy.has anybody got any thoughts thta i may be overlooking.it belongs to my neighbor and he is on s.s.i.thanks

Mine had spark when key was in starting position, but not in running position. It was my tether. I don't know if they all work that way, though.
