[V8] '90 V8 No Start

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I'd try to run codes.  Third to last time that happened to me it was  
soaked plugs and all was good after replacement.  Second to last time  
had to do with dead batgtery and stock alarm reset (apparently).  Had  
to make sure to use the power lock/unlock (with key) before  
attempting to start car.  Last time?  I replaced both position  
sensors and voila!  Instant start.

YMMV
