I have an 85 F-150 302/5.0 4x4. Always ran great until one day a wasp stung me on the leg while driving and i popped the clutch and killed the engine and it has not started since then. It cranks just fine with 10 volts at the coil which is new. I have also replaced the control module and made sure that it was in time and is getting fuel. I'm not sure what else to check. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

 

Could be fuel. Is it fuel injected? If so, maybe the jarring of the clutch set off the inertia switch. Check to see if you can press the reset button. It is located on the passanger side floor near the center console, but on the floor where your feet would be if sitting down. Its a small box looking thing with a red button on top. See if you can push the red button. Or you cancheck to see if the pumps are running.

 

Good thinking Walter.

 

It isn't fuel injected. I have taken off the fuel line at the Carb and fuel comes out when trying to start.?

 

Have you looked into the neutral safety switch? something may have happened to it when the clutch got popped?

 

I thought Walter hit the nail on the head. Not fuel injected, engine quit with rapid clutch engagement, now won't start but engine cranks. Check basic engine timing, is rotor aligned with #l or #6 when marks align on crankshaft pulley?
