5KTQ starting issues (light at the end of the tunnel)

[SJ]

Try and eliminate either the fuel or spark electricals as the problem.

Why dont you try some "Starting Fluid"(ether)?
If engine starts up, then you know your spark electricals are all correct.
If engine still wont start, then you know there is still a problem with
spark electricals like timing. Or, you have a massive air leak that leans
out the mixture.

On my cars, the air bonnet has some yellow plugs that can be easily removed
and the ether sprayed in at that point. I stick in the spray tube and put
finger over the hole to keep the air out, while someone else cranks the
engine over.
