Ok, so Thursday morning, I start my beauty up and back out of the driveway. Into first and stalls on take-off. Start back up and stalls on take-off. After that, no start. Get home from work Thursday afternoon and realize there is no familiar hum from the tank when I turn the key on. Check fuses, all good. Check relay, good. Push the car into the driveway since I had parallel parked it against the neighbor's curb that morning. Drop the tank and throw a fuel pump in. Now I can hear the pump, but it won't start. Put the tank back in and go to bed. Friday evening after work, changed out the computer, IRCM, and DIS. No change. Today we have checked fuel pressure, 33psi under cranking at the rail. Unplugged the cam sensor and tried to start it, no joy. Plugged it back in, still no joy. Pulled the front bank of plug wires and put new plugs in the wires and attached to ground. All 3 fire. Spray starting fluid in, nothing. No codes.
I have the Ford Tech Service Info CD, but most of the diagnostics require a breakout box, which I don't have.
Any thoughts on what could be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie

Only thing I can think if you KNOW the front 3 are all firing...some of the back aren't? The back ones like to fill with water sometimes. Alternatively, engine to chassis ground can cause goofy issues.

Well, after much testing with a breakout box, it seems that I have a bad connection / broken wire or something like that concerning the DIS area or CPS area. Accidental bumping led to intentional wiggling of those components over the weekend which led to the car starting. I have since cleaned all of the connections and applied generous amounts di-electric grease.
