Well they had a huge issue with the FPR blowing out into the intake and also had coolant issues with some of them. I am guessing you checked the Schrader valve to confirm FP? If so then it might be time to consult a Tech@ LOL! Usually known as a very reliable motor though. Good luck sorry I wasn't more help it is very hard to diagnose a problem over the internet LOL!

Check fuel pressure spark etc then pm me and I'll walk you through it. Fuel pressure should be 40-45 plus KOEO.
