Crank no start

[preston5.9]

I have a 1991 2.9l 5spd it died when it got warm for a while and now it won’t start at all. so i cleaned grounds replaced tfi module, cleaned IAC, checked for vacuum leaks, and replaced fuel filter. I also ran injector cleaner though it incase it was a dirty injector. It holds 40psi fuel pressure and has spark and compression. I’m not familiar with these motors i’ve read to replace crank sensor i’ve also read they don’t have one. What else should i check? TIA

2.9 no crank sensor. it is tfi with a distributor. assuming you didnt cause an issue with the module replacement.

do the injectors have power?

I tested the injectors and they do have power and pulsate like they should. I’m at a loss i’m thinking maybe replace the distributor?

Did you pull the distributor to change module?

If its sparking it might not be sparking at the right time.

Loosen the distributor and pull the SPOUT connector, see if it starts, if not mark where the distributor position is and twist it around a bit see if it fires...

If it does you need to set your timing....if not...we'll go from there.

Also...what color is your new TFI module?

OK, I will try that. The tfi module was light gray.

OK, I took out the spout connector. Loosen the boat on the bottom of the distributor and rotate it a few times to see if it would fire. Still nothing happened. I was almost certain it was something in the timing. Could it be an ECm issue? I took off the ECM. The connector had some corrosion in it, and I read that the capacitors could go bad inside the computer on the circuit board. I took some pictures if you think that could be it. If not, what else do you recommend. Thank you so much for the help.
