[V8] No Start

[Ed Kellock]

Try to start it while holding the throttle flat on the floor.  If the ECU
temp sensor is hosed it could be telling the ecu to dump a lot more fuel
than is needed.  Also if you have weak battery/spark.  If it tries to fire
at all then, then you have a flooded condition or similar (right amount of
gas, too weak spark).  Sometimes it's necessary to pull the plugs and
clean/replace them.  Autolite 103.
