Friend of mine has a 1998 sport, with a crank no start.
We found that the key was bad, causing the theft light to blink, I missed the light since he was cranking it and I was under the hood, we used the spare, and it started right up, we thought we had fixed the problem.
Then when he tried to move it the engine stalled, and hasn't started since.
I can hear the spark, and the fuel pressure is a solid 38-40 with Key on engine off.
I looked at the aftermarket alarm, which I found to be a starter interrupt which was not the problem, I resistance tested the throttle position sensor which upon moving I found to short, I replaced it with a new effective one, still wouldn't start.
I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Edit: It's the 4.0 OHV.
