listen for a short humming noise when you turn your key on, if not it may be your fuel pump
if pump runs, fords have a fuel filter inline on the frame, change it, but make sure to bleed pump pressure first.
Just changed fuel pump and filter it has spark but won't start what now?
Check the inertia switch

Did that inertia switch work? I have a similar problem.... 1996 Ford Econoline E30 RV- Callista Cove Series M2844C Starting Problems My stepdad recently passed away and his RV was running fine when he parked it 4 years ago. I have installed a new battery and verified the fuel switch is set, but the engine turns over well, but will not start. I have even attempted to spray a little starting fluid through the filter intake hoping to see if it would even fire... but got nothing. I am seeking guidance on some of the things I can walk through and check ( as a process of elimination) to try to find the problem and would greatly appreciate any guidance and suggestions. Thanks in advance...Jon
