- 1997 XLT 4.0L SOHC
I just finished rebuilding my 4.0L SOHC after a blown head gasket. It won't start. If I crank it long enough, I smell gas, my inductive timing light is picking up spark on each wire. Hooked up manifold vacuum to manifold port just under brake booster port. Needle won't even flicker while cranking. If I let it sit for a while and try again (Overnight), The engine coughs like it ignited in one cylinder right off (Intake backfire) but then nothing.
What am I missing? All lines are hooked up. Used the Timing toolkit when I set all of the chains and cassettes.
