Engine cranks wont fire. 2 weeks ago I replaced the coil pack plugs and wires. I have the 171 174 lean codes. Uppers gaskets are leaking, new ones on the way. This thing has been running like a sewing machine with the new plugs and such. New fuel filter 3 months ago. What I have checked so far. 1.I can hear the fuel pump when key turned to on. 2. Pulled plugs. plugs damp AND there is spark. (don't get that one) 3. I have checked inertia switch. 4. I didnt have any starting fluid but I had throttle body cleaner. I sprayed it in the intake and it tries to fire but won't.
It ran great Saturday evening. We didnt go anywhere yesterday. Wife went to leave for work this morning and found this. I appreciate any suggestins.

***UPDATE***
I messed with it some more. I relieved the fuel pressure at the schrader valve then cranked it over and pressure built back up. (How much pressure I dont know) After reading another thread I tapped on the crank sensor. still nothing. I forgot to mention a friend that is a FORD mechanic did a compression check before I changed the coil pack a couple weeks ago and said everything was good.
